make sure you have that thing pointed where you want to go when you hammer down .
the wife called when you guys were messing with the car saying "those guys in the black car just went past the house sideways, the whole way up the road! you better not be doing that with yours!" i told her that mine wouldn't do that and she asked what the difference was between mine and yours. my answer was 12,000 dollars, haha.
so it looks like we're trying for the 25th for the dyno? i'm gonna see if i can round up a couple more guys to come down too.

Seriously bro, your wife's comments have me rolling.


My ex wives and ex fiance couldn't understand why I spend so much money on my car, and all they did was complain about the way I drove, blah blah blah. So I explained why: First off, its my money and me spending my money the way I want as lang as the bills are paid, gas in the vehicles, food in the refrigerator WTF is the problem. Secondly, I spend $$$ on my car because it doesn't complain, appreciates a good romp, and is quiet as a church mouse until I am ready for action. Third, I play by the rules and the car takes care of me, you play by a womans rules and they change the ******* rules so the problem starts all over again. God bless you for being married, but I've been there done that, and never again unless the next one if filthy rich and wants to take care of me.

NOW GO MOD YOUR CAR regardless of what your wife thinks.


Please don't get offended, just having some fun with ya.

I have a quick question for all you 383 guys... If you don't want to answer, it's okay, if you want to PM me you can, but how much did you guys end up spending on your 383 setups? I'm looking at possibly doing one right now, and checking out the price difference between 408 and 383... Just tossin ideas around, always lookin for new input. Thanks guys.

PS- ****** gnarly build!
