Default Hello

Just wanted to say hi and tell everyone a bit about myself. I live in Houston and am currently going to UTI. I drive a 02 Gt that is undergoing quite a facelift. Im putting the 5.4 DOHC Intech v-8 in it with dished pistons, cams, lightweight rods, Larger fuel injectors,Cobra fuel tank and fuel pump, fuel rails, a Diablo Sport Chip,single blade TB, 100 shot of Nitrous, and an SVQ2 Vortech S/c. Ive swapped the 5 speed for the T-56 6 speed ,installed a stteda tri axe shifter, added a stronger drive shaft. A solid rear axle was installed with a 35 or 36 spline (cant remember) and 3:73 gears. Also in the car are Shortie headers (I wanted long tube but they would not fit), a Bassani X pipe, and a spintech side exhaust. Ive added steeda upper and lower control arms and a k-member kit. Its now sitting on 18 inch Chrome 03 Cobras and I have just gotten a Cobra R front bumper and a GTR rear bumper shot in the Mineral Grey Color. Should be a beast when I get her back. Im hoping for around 600 hp at the rear wheels....I may be dreaming, but we will see when she is done. Im glad to be part of the site and look forward to meeting you guys.

Yeah Im aware that this is Ls1 tech. I figured since so many of the Chevy boys are over at FordPower.net it wouldnt be a big deal to spread the love over here. Yeah I got some pics, but for some reason when I try to post the good ones it says they are too large. Ive got some lower quality ones that Ill try and post.
