No wonder it's called the Trex that thing is huge!!!!! Are your LS6 heads stock as well???

Let me know what kinda numbers you pull with that cam if your heads are stock. I might have to think about that one as my next step to man hood...

Ive been taking baby steps so far..LS1 cam to LS6 cam..LS6 cam to TR224/224 cam...Im always a wimp to go big...

Good luck with the vinal man..My stripes are vinl and toof me 5 hours to install..Ive herd the vinal rears like your are a real PITA....I only paid 100 bucks to have mine painted and it looks factory good..

Most people who get the vinl end up wishing they just would have painted it. Painting is typically 100-200 bucks depending on who dose it and can be done and ready to come back to you the same day..

The vinal looks good but vinal is SOOO hard to install...Just make sure you ave someone help you take the vinal off the candy paper and you should be good once you get it nice and soapy.

Yea I hope it is really freakin loud. I already wear hearing aids in both ears from my militarty service so I dont care to much..

My best friend has a Supra that he's getting the engine stroked to 3.4 litres as we speak. he's also getting a custom 5 grand racing head and a lot of other upgrades..

Lets just put it like this. his car dynoed 720 rwhp before these mods. Now his car is in the mainland getting the above stroke and head as well as many other mods bringing his total to 40 grand total for everything happening to his car right now at the shop ( yea some people are rich).../


He thinks that his 3.4 litre stroked 1000 rwhp supra is gonna idle louder than mine..

Yea he will have SIX HUNDRED more rwhp than I do ...But I still think the cammed no cats no mufflered C5 will be louder.

His car will probaly beinsanely loud at WOT...But Im hoping that at idle with his engine being much smaller and him still having mufflers that I will be louder..


Kinda chidish I know..But when somebody has 2-3 times more power than you..You gotta take any bragging right you can get.


BTW..When his Supra was 720 rwhp my car was still a 1/2 second quicker through the 1/4 mile ( he cant handle that beaste)

ANYWAYS..Tell me what you guys thinkabout my pictures.
