Default New Look For The SS

Before:
Stock....No CME



STS Turbo....



Cam/Bolt-Ons....




AND NOW H/C/I......didnt clean the car alot of dust on it but you really dont see it







I wanted the car to look like the Intimidator SS and I orderd the ARE 200S Wheels but American Racing or the dealer i went through was messing around for 4 months so i bought the closest thing to the 200S wheels and those were TT2's then painted them. LMK What you guys think

How come you went away from the sts setup to a heads/cam combo? Car looks good man.

blew the motor with 13 lbs of boost to the manifold it was tuned for 10lbs and was running on 10lbs for about a year and a half..but after i rebuilt the motor i did bolt ons and MTI X1 cam then my buddy had AFR heads that was at a price i could not refuse and here i am now...

STS vs H/C/I
well STS on street tires my best was 12.2 @125.6 crappy 60' like 2. something

H/C/I best was 11.8 @122.7 1.99 60' w/o cutout and merge on car , id have to say i pretty close if not there with this setup to the STS.

cant beat that snappy throttle with the n/a over FI

Looks good minus the dust If the Intimidator wheels are what i'm thinking they look like.. (fat goofy lookin spokes)? Then those are MUCH better! Very nice

Why did you do away with the Whistler mod? It looked good with it.

BTW, where is Rhode Island are you? And, where did you get your TTIIs painted because I want to do that to mine.
