Default Pics of my FRC

This is a 2000 FRC that I bought a couple months ago. Texas Speed 228R cam, PRC Stage 2.5 ported 5.3 heads, FAST 92mm intake / LS2 90mm throttle body, longtubes, x-pipe, catback, etc. I changed the wheels and added the intake, but otherwise it was all done when I got it.

I found a few minutes to take a few marginal pics of it.

I like it. The wheels look great. I am not usually a fan of the rivets either

Some tint and a bit of a drop will help out, and try to straighten those tips!

Thanks, yes, I'd like to do a little tint. I have it dropped as far as it will go on stock bolts.

My tuner tried less fuel, then more fuel, and that's where it made the most power and torque. I guess it likes being a little rich (according to their tailpipe sniffer anyway). I know it looks a little strange.

Nice car!

We have very similar numbers. I have the same cam, but I'm still running stock 243s and Ls6 intake. I would think you'd have 20-30hp on me, its probably just the difference in dynos
