You can sometimes request a noisier or quieter head unit...we've done that in the past for customers with a preference...you'll wait a little longer for it, but it might be worth looking into.

I DIDn't know you can request that. WOnder what ATI changes to make it louder. Is the F1-R very loud ?

Wendy, if this is you ... I'll be sending my bracket tomorrow. Sorry I've been really busy with the car. The Procharger is on so I took care of that. Now it's on with your stuff

Those pics are really nice. Best detailed pics of a S/C yet. You have it installed? If so, how much (approx)?

I provided the elbow grease for all the polishing, but the install and tuning were done at ForceFed Performance in Yuba City, CA. Great shop - great work. With all the cooling (fans) work I had done, it ended up being just over $7K turnkey. It could have been done cheaper, but I don't cut corners on anything.

Hopefully the new owner appreciates the quality of work/care in the car as much as I did!

Yes, a blown 427 should get it done!! I don't remember the exact place I got the emblems. I found it online - one of those places that specialize in late model Grand Prix (GM) cars, in particular the GTP variety. They were able to color match the "Firebird" lettering in the taillight area, and the silver ones on the side went well with the car too. I gave that receipt (and all others) to the new owner, and I can't remember the name of the place. Google it!!
