Default South florida, i'm back. Almost. PICS****

My 6 month build. Was running heads cam spray, then heads cam procharger, now heads cam and twin turbos. Should be dope. Getting little bugs out. Got it down to only a small electrical miss(under load only). Also need to cut in some more vents into the hood, to help evacuate all this heat. Then we'll sand down the other stuff, and paint the underside of the hood,...and detail the engine, which hasn't been done yet. The car is very dirty in all these pics...but, I cleaned the **** out of it this morning.Anyways,...here she goes.

That thing is a freakin beast man. Truly awe inspiring. I just can't imagine there will be too much on the road that will give you any problems.

Im always glad to see my kit going back in a fast car. I know it will make huge power for you cause it sure did for me. I had alot of bugs to work out too went I first got it going but when everything worked together it was a very fun yet scary ride. I hope nothing but the best for you and the car. Have fun with it.

Thanks man. I'ma gonna do my best to hold true to my roots, and look for some exotic's,...and liter bikes. Looking for some REAL cars to race as well in south florida too. Would like to bust off some consistent ten's on street tires. I can't wait. Thanks again man, I appreciate it.

holy hell I hope not. But, then again, this is south florida,...all kinds of stupid fast cars running around, with alot more power, and alot less weight. Everything is getting faster nowadays. It's getting hard to keep up I tell ya. lol. Hoping it'll do good for daddy and walk some ****.

Cool deal man. Thanks again that day for your help. I am gonna ride up to vero this weekend but, not sure if I will drive thevette. Probably not, incase I have to deal with rain.

I do but, I won't be entering any bro. Car's nowhere near a show car, just all buisness. Gladly attend but, I'll never enter,...as the car would never win. Unless it's some sort of "industrial look" award or some ****. lol. You can easily find me at tower shops on a friday night but, I won't make it this weekend. Maybe the following weekend. I usually park where it's dark,...by the GN's and some exotic's, far east corner of the show. Stop by, say whats up. Might hi the fudruckers this wednsday though, off of pines. Also a vette show tomorrow at hooters right by my work, in pembrokes pines. Stop by there too... nobldy but a bunch of dorky vette dudes, with the exception of a couple of cool ones. Anywho...see you around maybe man.

Drove it today,...I think it's done, and just all tuning right. I have some data logging sofware to download from diablosport, and look at whats happening when driving under load. If all is well, and I see that the reason for the car breaking up, is tune related, and not some issue with the car. Soo, I would know by tonight but, my stupid pc needs a different style adapter port. Soo,...tomorrow I'll know more.

Thanks man. i was able to find this one really cheaply,..and we're starting to see low miles ones, FRC's, going for like 15 grand or soo. Which, when you think of what your buying for 15 grand, thats the best deal ever, if you ask me. Anyways,..they're out there when your ready bro. The front grill setup,...is all buisness no doubt. Just trying to get as much cool air inside as possible. My IAT's are pretty low, which I am really happy about. I was doing 100mph, and 2200rpm, and I was at a consistent 95 degree's, for an extended period of time(closed course, no doubt).

Thanks man. I think you know this cars true purpose, and what i'll use it for. Looking forward to some seious MPH, and some pissed off liter bikes. The road, has been pretty long, I must say. Seems like days have been pured into this car, and it's new setup. Kinda gets old, having problems ya know, especially when your working on cars, all day long. Last thing I wanted to do, tt vette or not, was work on this thing after hours, till nine or sometimes later at night. Hell, I should have just stayed at the shop and slept over most of the time. But,...like any good trip, it's always awesome when you finally arrive. Thanks again for your help and knowledge, and the phone calls and the visits to help out when I was having issues. I'll give you a shout some time soon, as soon as the car is 100%,...and we'll go for a ride, since you where wanting to see the combo in a six speed. Your gonna have to give me a call though,...I have gone through about two phones since I last talked to you, and my sim card saved only a small percent of my numbers,...which sucks elephant dick. Peace

Thanks G.

295 fronts...335 rears. With the coilovers,..car handles like a slot car. When I have some extra cash, I want all new bushing, T1 sway bars, tranny mount,...and,..oh, before ANY of that,..a nasty 6or 8 point roll cage, which is my next mod(maybe when I can afford it ,..maybe like 20 years).
