Great car! How much money invested? How much time?

Congrats on an awesome swap...

I'd dig having one of those for sure!

Enjoy

Sorry I have been away for a few days!!! Working on the car!!! But I think you will like what I have to post!!!! First I am untuned and have a few things to sort out.

Now the part I wished I had video for. A srt-10, a cobra 4.6 non-blower, 4.6 Gt, and a Z28....ugly kills.....the look was priceless. That was Saturday.

Sunday night I ran into a Z28 which he was in it and when he got to the rear bumper I nailed it and left him for dead. A bunch of crotch rockets saw us and joined in. 2 600's from 60-120 mph.....side by side!!!!! The guy on a 750 wanted to run....so from 60-90 I held him....then he walked me til I let out around 120 mph. But, I now have good idea how strong this thing is.....and I am not tuned. It does not feel fast to be honest with you, but after the runs....I am very happy. I have a few things to sort out. But here are some updated pics.

When I get the codes fixed and it tuned!!! Videos will follow. I wish I had a video of tonight....the guy on the 750 had to ask me at 70 mph what the F@#$ did I have in that thing. I told him and he was like oh my god...sick!!! And I all have is a small cam and some home ported heads!!! I wonder what it would be like on the spray!!!! 75 shot!!! I first got learn how to drive this thing better first and get it tuned!!! And stop beating on it!!!! But it is so hard not too!!!

I am down right now....Had a wheel bearing let go on the way home this morning from work. I got it all apart and ready for the new wheel bearing to be installed. I am trying to get a few things straight before I go to the dyno to get it tuned on tues. I also need to get the alignment done moanday....so I have a busy weekend getting ready to make the Trip to C.A.M. for Jeff to tune. Oil change....tune-up...some sorting of the exhiust system....keep from rubbing certain parts of the body and nut and bolt everything. I have over 400 miles on the engine now..... I am sorry I didn't make it out there tonight. I'll see you both my be next week.....It is feel'n and running better everyday...due to the sorting of the issues I was having.
