Yeah that's the thread I remember. That is absolutely insane. I can't imagine what it feels like to have a v6 car turned into a 600rwhp MONSTER. Congrats dude, glad to see it's almost finished

at the moment its pretty nerve wrecking, i got it aligned yestarday it rides alot better obviously but its still got some shakes and squeaks, and everytime i hear one im like wtf was that is gonna fall apart o god please make it home please hahahaha, but seriously its f'ing killing me. i just need to drive it more and im not used to all the valvetrain noise from ls1's and the ticking of the 60lbs ers, its just all knew and i keep second guessing myself, 2 years is a lot of steps to retrace in one week you know

Sounds as Mean as Michael Myers Looks!! Good job on the build man....and mad props for turning a 6 banger into a 600+ HP Beast!! Like what was mentioned above, you should keep it a sleeper (except for the sound, which screams "get out of my ****** way!") and tell people its a 6....until you blow the doors off them!
