Ohh man I wouldn't change much on that car at all. The addition of a hood and spoiler would ruin it I think. If you were to lower it, tint it, and do something with the calipers? Your in business. That car is clean, and gets my very rare approval.

I use to. My lap top had tunercas on it but it fried and I lost all my stuff. I sold the cable cause I didn't think I needed it any more. I had a tuned pcm that got messed up so now I'm back to the factory one. Doesn't really matter though. I know a guy that still does LT tuning if you want. I do just about everything else. I have worked at gwatney (if you are familiar with them) for three years and all I do is LT, LS stuff. Hell I even went to school in oklahoma to learn how to work on them. I can swap out opti's in 45 minutes from start to finish. Anyway let me know if you want that pcm tuned. I have been thinking about picking it back up again but there just isn't that many LT guys around any more.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the compliment. I think i'll have to take everyones advice and just keep it simple. Some strano's and tint. Thanks again. But what color on the calipers? I was just going to leave them the way they are now.

It was sad, he had a full exhaust and 75 shot...that is if it's the same guy.
Yea, that guy's name is Jarod.. he's a tool..

He thinks that Mustang is the fastest thing in the world. When he put the 75 shot on it, he put in some AV GAS, and it messed that Engine up.

The first time I met that guy, he wanted to run me on the highway and I pulled him by 3 or 4 lenghts..this was back when I had my Built Hotcam LT1.


When you get the T56 in it Chris, you will be able to mess with CB alot easier..

I want to see how mine will pull against a C6 Z06 on a Roll when I get mine together.

Yea merv i'm going to go ahead and throw some 4.10's in it while I'm there. He may get me on the top end, but that goat won't catch this old *** LT from a roll again.

Not bad at all. When I first got my car and it was all bone stock...I mean everything. I think all I had done was change the oil. I made three pass' and the best I got was an 11.5 with cold street tires. Haven't been back since then to make another run...as a matter of fact I went to the track that night with merv when he ran his first 9.01.

I was going to do 3.89's.. but I have a feeling more people will want to play with me on the highway, especially with the T56, so I stuck with the 3.50's, I'll suprise em..

It was a 9.07@110mph, and everyone from Gwatneys that was there was like WTF..
I ran 2 9.07 passes that night, both on 1.56 60fts.

If I had the O2 Sensor's fixed, I bet it would have gotten into the 8's on that 1000ft Track..

I still have people accusing me of having a N2O Shot on it.. I wonder what they will think when I actually get it running right..

Yea because Jason was with me. I had to leave early that night and only stayed till like 9.

Green3spd. Yea it had salad shooters on it. As a matter of fact I remember seeing you there now that I think about it. I took all the guys from gwatney with me. I work on a lot of hot rods up there and they wanted to tag along with us to go watch the races.

You're welcome. You have a color that could go either way. If you want them to stand out a little, paint them up with some red paint. If you just want it to look subtle, go with black. Either way you would be fine, and if you don't like one they are always reversable!
