I agree. If its mainly a strip car build a nasty 6.0 and add spray as reqd. If you want to drive it on the street alot turbo it so you wont be fighting drivability issues.

Absolutely yes. My 99 z28 is being cleaned up of all unecessary wiring and such. Will be putting the msd ls ignition box and vic jr with 750 street hp carb. Underhood will only have minimal wires. Simplicity is a beautiful thing.

Ahhh. Ok yea I know the ones. I see one almost every morning on my commute. I keep thinking I cant wait to get the Buick done so I can mess with this guy. Theres also one of those new GT500 stangs I see alot. It would be real fun to embarass that guy. poser... I always liked the white t/a with the anodized blue wheels. I think it was an indy pace car or something. If I remember right it had a houndstooth type interior like on first gen f-bodys. I used to work on one for a picky customer back when I was a GM tech. I was the only one allowed to touch it lol. He wouldn't even let the porter move it off the service drive.lol
