probably true, i've had my front plate mounted on my air dam under the car for 3 years running without problems except the rent-a-cops at the langley afb gate.

according the state inspection rules, they're supposed to visually verify the presence of cats.

That's just it, they haven't done what they said they were going to do. I was asking what happened to it because they had big plans a while ago and I never heard anything else about it. Turns out they have other obligations (customers) and had to put it on the back burner. Stop being a nut swinger.

While i do appreciate everybody's support,it's all good.Jason asked a question,i gave him an answer,he accepted my answer.Jason is skeptical-and has every right to be.500rwhp with 243's is a tall order on a stock bottom end,its not going to be easy,but i do believe it can be done.****,i'd doubt it to if i were him or anybody else.But i like the challenge-i set the bar high,thats how we learn and evolve,if you do the same things everybody else does,you dont learn anything or ever get any better.Nothing ventured nothing gained

You think I'm stirring the pot? Do you even know anything about my car? I'm sure you could talk to Kong and find out some stuff. Maybe then you would understand why I am interested in a 500 rwhp stock headed stock cubed LS1...Don't assume stuff, it can get you in trouble. Hell, I could be a potential customer for all you know.

Wait, wait, wait.... Who said anything about stirring the pot??? I just simply said here we go again.

I know about your car.... You told me about it, not Mike.

What might I have assumed??? Im not sure where you're trying to go with this.

I would love for you to be a customer....
