Rpm is keeping them for cores i guess that is what he told me TJ is a really great guy to deal with. THis car is well deserved i sent the payment monday and they already have the drivetrain out today. I will get more pics up when i get it in 3-4 weeks. I am hoping for 3 weeks we have a big car meet going on up here.

4l65e. This car has not even been plated he said when i receive the title next week it will show up as 0 miles on it. By the way the car and mods are paid for in full. Windows will be tinted right away.

Funny thing is i just got a ticket last saturday for doing 82 in a 65. I have to take a 8 hr speeding class august 1st so that my insurance wont go up other wise i would not be getting this car. THe ticket is 170 but i dont have to pay it i only pay for the class which is 144 so i saved a little dough.

Yeah it should be ok. TJ told me that the is was on Rodney's 07 z06 and it was puttin down like 565-575wrhp with basically the same tranny and so forth. The procharger is used but it only has a couple thousands miles on it. He said rodney ran high tens with it on his car. If i remember right i think he said rodney was going with a stroker motor but dont quote me. I have been on and off the phone with hiw quite often. Do you guys think the motor will be ok it is only going to be running 6 psi. Im not going to run the car to hard i think it will be a cruiser cant afford a ticket at least not on my record. I dont want anything going wrong with the car since it only has 650miles.

Wow! What a fun car you are going to have. Are you going to track it? You are going to need some sticky tires if you plan to use 1st and 2nd gears.

I don't get it... you say the car and mods are paid for in full, but then you say you wouldn't be able to afford the car if your insurance rates went up a little... doesn't compute.
