Thank you I was hesitant to change anything because I've always like this car but I think the hockey stripe make the car now. I don't know why it took so long to sell its a well built clean car. I think it the fact that everybody is stuck on ls this and ls that.

The hockey stripes def MAKE IT.... and I think your right... a combination of everyone wanting LS, plus no one wants to spend money. If you got it for what he was asking, you got an AWESOME deal.....

I batted around buying it and making it the "race car."

Where are you located? You should consider bringing it out to the LTX shootout.

Congrats again!

Car is already solidly into the 10's with the rocker issue fixed. Any intentions of sending the heads out to someone like LE and going bigger on the cam?

No the next step will be a total rebuild more cubic inches single plain and either a big single turbo or a big direct port kit.
Kind of thinking about sending the intake off for port job and buying a bigger throttle body. Both are stock on the car now. I'm not sure if its worth the investment or not ?

I only had the 100 jets in for kind if a shake down pass. I had planned on spraying around 150 to 200. Didn't think it would do so good on the small **** so they will be staying in there for a while
