It was not easy joining the elite club of but seeing it's so popular around us I had to check out all the hype.

Yeah fitting under stock hood without cutting the core support probably will not happen. It does not fit under my vfn hood without modification, Larry put me on to this body guy that says he can make it all fit and look good under my vfn hood but this car is taking on a new personality so it's time for it to get a new look.

Here is a picture of the hood it's the normal Sunoco not the "Wide" version


I'll get Pics of the new hood as soon as I can get it on.

lol I was waiting for the question.

Well see as we know Larry is a good guy and a friend that will do anything to help you out even if you aren't spending money but he is also convincing and he got me, he got me good too cause after I committed to the swap he sold his vette and went back to a LTx setup now I'm back to playing catch up!!

I try to make him feel guilty all the time but it doesnt seem to work. But it's cool I had 3 LT1's before and it was time for something different, this season I plan to run that LTx down!!

I could not pass up the deal on the scrap I purchased, but it went way further then expected. I get **** all the time that I should have done an Ls swap and turbo combo for cheaper then I did my LT setup, but I like it since it runs better then expected.

sorry Dave LOL

Yes we do need to get to the track together I seem to always miss the good weather days!

Rolling Meadows moved from the last I heard to a bigger spot futher north right off of 53 but that was months ago did something new happen?

I love me some culvers concrete mixers!! Chocolate ice cream with brownie pieces!! Although rolling meadows had taco hell which was nice, get a couple tacos, some Mountain Dew and I was all set.

Oh if we line up together it is only customary for you to block your ram air...haha
