I just noticed you took those black things out that are part of the front bumper, whatever they are called lol. Anyways when they are out, does the front bumper support need to be out in order for air to be directed to the radiator? JW because I haven't had the chance to really look at it and I have been pondering taking those black covers out if it would be worthwhile.

damn sharp bird man...
love the tires and wheels...
Thats the first time I've seen the mini CETA mod look really good. If my car wasn't black, I'd do it too! haha
Looks 100% racecar, and I like it.

If you put a big 'ol cowl or ram air hood on it, it'd look like a 150% racecar...haha

Thanks man,
Ive only seen like 1 or 2 other formula's on the board with it..so i figured i would go for it. I think it breaks up the back of the car a lot. Its pretty much just a race car now. Drive it to and from the track and to and from work(2 miles round trip)

I wanna get a stock style LT1 ws6 hood for it...just a 125%.

I got the relocation bracket off ebay about 8 months ago. The only thing with the bracket that i have is that you lose the power steering as well. I know speed inc does/did make a relocation bracket that retained the power steering if you wanted to keep it.

Sorry for the last response on it man,

I really have no idea if it helps with cooling having them out. I just tossed them because i thought it looked better with them out. I would imagine that it if the foam insert and bumper where in the car that removing those vents prolly wouldn't help out to much.

I bet you can get 11.5x out of your car no problem. You should deff put a kit on there asap...150 shot and you would deff be in the 10s no problem. I gotta say the nitrous is my favorite mod I've done so far...deff the most fun

Nitrous isn't cheating at all...lol. Your trying to go 10s NA?? That could happen i think but idk about doing it full weight tho...may have to throw the car on some slim fast lol. I'll just hit it with a 175 kit next time it goes out then haha. Even though i know what will most likely happen
