Some pics of my ride.
Nice ride dude! Love the Simmons, very uncommon wheel anymore, nice touch! Too bad you had to hack up the underside of the SS hood for the Vortech, unless you figured something out, did you? Job well done I must say! Tips are a little big though

Thanks man, it seems like everybody is running the same wheel, I like being different. there's no getting around not cutting the hood. I suppose you might be able to lower the engine down an inch or so but I still think you would need to clearance the hood.
I'm gonna get the underside of the hood painted and blended in so its not so noticeable and virtually unrecognizable unless you are looking for it.

As for the cutting of the hood, that is the only thing that pisses me off about Vortech, they would have sold a lot more kits if it weren't for that
Most SS owners just get an aftermarket hood to chop up and save the original.Nice **** though, real clean!!

It last put down 526 rear wheel but the tune straight up sucks, it needs to be tuned RIGHT with someone who knows how to tune. I also need a boost a pump, I'm dropping fuel pressure at the upper rpms.
