Default '98 Formula

I know she isn't the cleanest thing ever, she does still need some tlc, little bit of body work here and there. But for $4k i don't think i did to bad now that i finally got her running good. Right now she has LT headers, manual cutout (normally left open) flowmaster exhaust, ngk tr55 plugs, msd wires, k&n filter, slp lid, mail order tune, and 3.73's. I just bought an LS6 intake that should be here monday so that should help out alittle bit, then the next thing will be a stall. I'm hoping to get it down to 8.50's after the LS6 intake, right now the best is 8.69 1/8th at 82mph.. Also i'm thinking about powdercoating the rims black to change the look up a little bit and i'm going to run true duals that will dump before the rear axle.. let me know what you guys think

If you want black wheels buy some. I wouldn't go powdercoating those. Yes, you need to put a lot of tlc into that car. Get TDs and dump the exhaust. Those stock tips are ugly. But for 4k not a bad deal.

dumped true duals are definatly on the list, passenger side front fender needs fixed and of course the gap at the front of the hood.. not sure how to fix that gap though..

and i have to keep the front lisence plate, i could stick it in the windshield or whatever but i like to avoid having any issues with the law
