My current WS6 has trex cam, volant cai, 82mm TB, LS6 intake, pacesetter lts, dual exhaust dumped rear axle, 275 nitto's, few other things im sure I am forgetting. Makes 423rwhp through stock heads and "stock" LS6 intake mani. I am getting FAST 92/92 set up soon. Hopefully gonna get 440-450rwhp. I do baby my car though.
is this sgm at fort sill? does he have a cobra?


my list is short this year. sad to say i only put about 5k on my car this summer. its usually tripple that. I got a late start from last years carnage tho. had to finish trans rebuild, clutch, driveshaft from last year. that was after everything in the rear came out the cover, tq arm wrapped around driveshaft(first one) and im not sure what else. this year...

axle and a spool i think are about it for this year, after i got the bugs worked out from last years carnage. oh and i just developed a bad oil leak over the weekend. not sure what that is yet.

but its not over yet. gotta street car showdown in two weeks. will report back after i break something new. lol
