Love your build btw. Car looks awesome.
Thank you!!
Yes stock bottom. Just the ls2 style if you want to call that more stout.

No the exhaust. Most of the promod and outlaw 10.5 cars run them. Obviously my car is NOTHING compared to those just like them ever since I went to englishtown last year so bad *** just not sure on a "street car"

No on the bullhorn IMHO. It will probably attract too much of the wrong attention

Hey man, just read through all the pages and i must say this is a beautiful and impressive build. I just picked up a 96 Z/28, i have the 10 point cage getting welded in this weekend. Im go to do the LQ4 with a TH400 RVB and moser 9in rear. Im also doing the S480 turbo build. So we are in the same boat. Going to be a Street/Drag car. Any pointers?

Even though it would look awesome, I like mine only sticking out a inch or so because like other guy said it will attract cops and other "NOT COOL WITH YOUR BAD *** CAR" people lol.

Thanks I appreciate that! Mine is the same Street/Strip. Well there are a lot of little things i learned along the way with this. I could give you a ton of pointers just depends which direction your looking to go with the build. Stock motor? Fuel? Suspension?

Think honestly a 5" exhaust will be its own "bullhorn" for the wrong and right type of attention, lmao.

LOL I understand that, but to the untrained eye the 5" isn't as noticeable as the bullhorn, thats all I was saying

Im going to be doing a Street/Drag car on a medium budget. Going to do the 6.0 lq4 motor and run it basically stock.. but from what i was reading on yours is you did a couple small things to your engine, and im thinking of doing the same. For fuel im going to do pump gas for now and later on going to be looking at E85. Suspension is going to be more of a drag set up / its also getting a 10 point cage. Thanks man.

if you like the bullhorn do it. I think it could be cool, like you said you already have a 5" pipe sticking out... I personally like the flanges in the bumper with the DP cut flush...

Can you photoshop it?

Awesome build btw!
