Ok, sooo im bringing the thread back with dyno #'s!! the car put out 650 at 6lbs (3.2 pulley) from what my dad told me. They have a new hood being made to be put on so those that want to run the 122 blower with this hood can! once the 404 is ready to be put in they said it can be pushed up to 10-12lbs (2.6 pulley) I wouldnt even want to know the power on that scale. My dad was happy with 650 and could have dropped to a 3.0 but wasnt needed. again thanks for the compliments and once my dad recieves the dyno sheet I will post it up ASAP!

My 2000 is Montery Maroon Metallic, but NEVER have it seen that color shine like on your dad's vette. My god that car...it's just unbelievable. I don't have words for it.

Guess you didnt get a good look at the badge stamped on the blower (kind of blurry). He didnt want the callaway badges put back on until everything on the car was actually finished. The ZO6 is being taken off and put on with a Callaway 600hp badge. He has 2 sets of valve covers, the 1st is the plastic covers with Callaway *Powerfully Engineered Automobiles* below it, that have been cut to show the polished intake manifold. The 2nd are polished aluminum valve covers with Callaway on them like my dads 96 vette. Heres a few pics of his other one.

To be technical, it is a 6 speed, an A6, but a 6 speed none-the-less.

Awesome car!

So i want the weather to be nice again so I can pull out the Trans Am and actually see my dads vette in action! He might be selling his 96 Callaway since he said you can only drive one at a time and no point in having 2... lame.... Otherwise updates will be soon!
