Default The need for speed!

So today I took a step back and looked at the big picture of my 98 T/A on a lift with the engine and tranny dropped out the bottom, the engine stripped down to a bare short block and more to go,two benches covered in parts, and I said to myself "this was a perfectly good running car before I desided to take it all apart to make it faster". Then I realized that a perfectly good running car would have been faster in the 1st place so now I feel better about it. It amazes me what "power" the need for speed has, countlass hours working on the car and lots of $. And I am sure I will feel even better after I drive this thing with new heads, cam headers etc... I'll post my results.
