That car is wicked. I love it..

What size slick and bs are you running?
28x10.5

I really like the car on a radial but these work so much better on less then optimal prep. Car was bogging leaving on 10 psi.
All in all it is begging for more power.

I cant wait.

I just knocked out a cam/intake/converter/tune on this car in 7 days. Only 3 more cars to go and I can get the intercooler and stuff back into mine!

heads/cam/intake/retune on this 402 corevette too. Guy did the engine a decade ago and it has a sub 600 lift cam and stock 317/s.
She will really wake up with a monster bump stick and prc 247's!

Absolutely. It is a little tiring at times but that is what I have to do. I keep picking up fair paying jobs with great customer base. So i continue to push. Crazy what the power of social media can do these days. I take pride in what I do so I try real hard to go over and above. They appreciate it and it keeps me happy with it at the end of the day.
If the work continues over the course of the next year, I am going to have to quit my day job.

Well I think I speak for everyone, when I say that you clearly have a talent.. may as well exploit it.
You think lebron hasn't exploited his talents? ...just sayin

So who's the badass that wrestled the full keg out from in the cage? I'll just assume they're empties. And your a man after my old mans heart with the air freshener tree. Here's a pic of his 55, zoom in and look at the colum and drivers floor vent.

Yes unfortunately I have cracked my second windshield. So I ordered an optic armor. Tired of those things. Plus it saves a claimed 27 pounds!

I actually kicked *** at this no prep airport race. Car worked better then I ever imagined. Last year I did an 1/8th mile burnout. This year spun about 10-15 feet.

Hahahaha you would!

Do you think it's from trimming it for the intake manifold clearance?

It had a crack in it previously. But yes most certainly cracked like a **** after I trimmed it.
