Mike, very nice <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Is there a way to re-route the air filter to get cold air from the front of the car. That underhood hot air intake is probably costing you some precious power!

We have already looked in to it! We can retrofit a LS1 Camaro/firebird Vortec 8lb blower with aftercooler!

How's the fit and finish? Did you retain A/C, pwr steering and the like? Are there any vibrations, quirks or interference problems?


Sweet car. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Shop??? Hopefully in the next 3 years. We have already started a company called DWI Performance. We do own a Dynojet 248 the above ground version but are leasing it to our buddy's shop but we are just waiting to see what happens over the 3 year lease to see what we are going to do.

Man, What are you thinking? $20K for 420Hp? You can get the same in an LT1 383 with the right heads and cam for ~$5k. Then you would have $15k left for a down on a 2-3 year old C5! You coulda had the fast SS and a Vette for that!
