LOL! There is only temporary satisfaction as WOT said. Everybody keeps saying "drive it... enjoy it... leave it alone". Yeah. Right.

Been modding this pig for 4 years now. Finally broke 400+ rwhp..... 2 motor swaps, 3 cam swaps, 3 head swaps, 3 exhaust swaps, 2 header swaps, rear end swap, 3 rear gear swaps, TNT kit, .....etcetcetc....(you get the idea).

Now looking at another motor swap...... maybe uppin' the cubes will do it for me Oh to wish.....

Thinkin' I'd be better of on crack.... it'd be cheaper.....

I have had mine for 6 years. I wanted 12's when I bought it. Did that. Then wanted 11's and did the roll bar. Did that. Now I want 10's. After I get 10's I guess I will want more, based on history. Just the nature of the beast.

I'm done. I'm making 100 extra HP which is plenty for the stock Z06 drive train. I can't get traction as it is now. I don't know what I would do with any more HP. Anyhow, 500 is a good round number!

It would seem money decides how much more I can do just like anyone else. It's an annoying addiction I will tell you that. I've bought a f body 5 times now and haven't left any of them alone.
