Sounds good, but the tail lights are just awful.

Your numbers in your sig. seem low for a H/C 402. there are lots of H/C 346 makin at least that much if not more.

well i knew i would hear alot about the tail lights but i like them,as far as numbers go my compression and 4500 rpm stall and 12 bolt are robbing alot but the car is built for fi so once i throw on my f-1 then you guys will see some kick *** numbers and i would love to see a low compression all motor 346 put out my numbers.

thanks for all the opinions and if u hate the lights then u will hate it even more when i throw the ram air hood i will be buying on it lol

Not trying to be an *******, but it sounds like you have way too much money with way too little taste.

The lights are ridiculous. I can only imagine what hood you're going to do. And I'd really like to see this home-brewed conversion.

Good job on the $$ and motor, but get someone else to style the car for you

Turning a fast car into a domestic ricer

Oh and a flowmaster.. what are you thinking?

lol its cool im just doing what i like,and i think your labeling rice way to fast lights do not make a car rice i just hate the stock lights and i dont like the 4th gen with blackouts so these were my next favorite and i dont have an ugly *** body kit or big wing but its ok cause soon enough i will have a 9second rice mobile

and about the flowmaster i got that before i really started to learn about these cars 3yrs ago but the cutout takes care of that and i will be switching my entire setup when i get my f-1 so i definately know what im doing and as far as my taste ihave never heard a complaint by anyone in person and the hood i like is the warbird hood im just not a fan of the ss hood or ultra z

Its all good do what you like, you're the one driving and paying for it not me/us.

Personally think the warbird hoods are fking ugly on Camaros, go with a small cowl or something instead.

Oh and I didn't say it was rice, I said you were turning it in to rice

All in all, you have to look at it in the garage every night not anyone else.

Oh and it sounds sick, can't wait to see a 9 second pass

I love VFN's different cowl hoods, and they are also on sale till tomorrow (check group purchase forum).

Flames always seem to flow better on a cowl than a WS.6 car IMO. That being said I'm also not a flame guy.. but I've seen a car around here with true blue flames and it's acceptable
