Don't know yet, I'm hoping for 450-475 hp flywheel N/A. N2o is also coming.

If you go with Lt's you will pick up at least 25-30 at the crank over those shorties.

Not a big fan of the look to be totally honest. Not liking the pro stock scoop or the taillights too much, but the setup has some good potential.

Unfortunately I agree. Scoop and taillights are what did it for me. Not my taste, but if he is happy with it, that's all that really matters.

Motor looks good , with the m6 I bet about 415-420 RWHP. Yeah the scoop is 2 much IMO and a no go on the Tail lights. PS lose the gigantic speaker box and gain a 1/10 in the 1/4 mile.

What I have done to my car is a love hate thing. I wanted a true custom look for my car.

After years of going to shows and looking at other F-bodies, and I came to the conclusion, that they all look pretty much the same.

Anyway, I'm not going for the fastest 1/4 mile time. I want my stereo and A/C too.

On the rice thing, yeah, you can say its got some asian in it, but you everything works. Unlike the ricers, with there big *** wings on a fwd car.

That scoop gives me a lot of cold air compared to any aftermarket hood that you can buy.

The goal is to have a ruff finish on the intake side to provide a swirl effect for the air and fuel mix.

Exhaust side gets a smooth finish.

The scoop isn't really doing much more than a ram air setup would for the car. It's grossly oversized and sticks out like a sore thumb on the hood. Rather distasteful IMO, if you're not going for the best quarter time there's absolutely no need for a pro stock scoop.

The cam is pretty small for the setup actually. It wouldn't have costed any more to go with a 306 or an 847, they would be a good cam for a 385.
