Default Just bought a new(to me) red rocket

I bought a LPE twin turbo vette. Check out the links for a pic and dyno sheet. 600rwhp and 600 ft/lbs torque. If you are willing to max boost can get to 650rwhp. This is the same set up that John Lingenfelter hit 226 mph for Car and Driver in his rig.
Now I just need someone to buy the race car in the sig.
