One day I hope to get it in a magazine

Got offered 10k cash on Saturday for it, but let him know I wouldn't let it go for that.
Bring it on DragWeek this year, it would be hit. and the 1100+ miles should be no problem.

The Magazine would likely love all of the Stock LS turbo cars. And that could mean some coverage.

Mike's mustang with a cam swapped Turbo 6.0, and my stock L33 5.3 Twin Turbo NovaWagon will be there.

Great Car, guys.

Great Car, guys.
I'd LOVE to go on drag week, but being that this is my daily driver I'm not going to put a 8.50 cage in it and make it all 8.50 legal. 1100 miles isn't a problem, I put ~500 miles on it from Friday to Sunday last weekend.

I love when **** like this happens. This is truly phenomenal.

8's on a stock LSX block is phenomenal.
140+ traps out of that boat on a stock LSX is phenomenal.

You sir are full of win and have reassured me in my decision to get rid of my 3.0 and go Iron 6.0 LSX.
