Default I'm BAAAAAACK...!

Well I'm back,been gone for awhile. I had to reregister and everything. It's been a long road with my GTO since I was here last. I had a driveshaft failier while the car was on the dyno. It destroyed the trans and clutch the driveshaft and broke the back of the engine...! Right now it's down at Vengeance Racing getting a new LSX454. The motor will be built as a driver with only around 600RWHP but with spray.....Who knows. While ther I plan on getting a cage installed and mini tubs. Later I plan on a T56 built to handle some HP/TQ and a SRA conversion.

Here's some pic's for your enjoyment....

Nice hood.

That's the first GTO I've seen with a hood like that. Looks good.

MY goals are not very lofty. I'de like to see 600 rwhp on motor and 800ish on spray. Mid 10's on motor and mid to high 9's on spray. I could make the car really crazy but I want to keep my air and other stuff that makes the car nice to drive. With a streetable cam the motor numbers are low but it wont be a pain to drive. When the car was around 500hp with the Maggie it would run 10's and now with more hp and less weight who knows.

Is your hood popped in the pic? Looks like a pretty big gap. Love those wheels.

Yeah that side doesnt fit very good but it's not on there for looks. I took 400lbs off the car and still looking for more weight loss. The wheels are stock 18's powdercoated the wrinkle black like on the Harleys.
