Motor is stock, but dyno tuned, jet hot headers, no cats, open cut out. Rear suspension BMR adj. LCA's, BMR adj. torque arm & crossmember/driveshaft loop & BMR subframe connectors. Moser 9" 3:89 gear aluminum center section & steel driveshaft, weld wheels & M/T street radials with skinnies up front. I didn't mean to mislead Ya'll, I was saying that motor is stock as it come from SLP. She is fun to drive on the street or at the track, luv my vert
