I drive a modded 01 NMB SS, the wifey drives a 98 Z28 silver w/black stripes. A friend drives a 2000 modded Vette, another drives a modded 02 red SS anniversary and the same guy has another 02 Silver SS, another friend drives a modded 01 Red SS.
I am the slowest guy in the group with about 400 RWHP.....
We used to meet up alot and cruise the town pickin' on people. Have chilled a little on that street scene. We talked about starting a club a few months ago- and meeting up at the new Sonic on Johnston St.

The horsepower bug is VERY contageous, I bought my '01 4 months ago and I went from stock to where I am now. Hanging out with these guys improves my driving skills and keeps me modding my car. Every mod I do that gets me closer to their track times- then they do something that goes even faster! These guys are more extreme than I am.....

once i get my headers and hp tuners, ill be done for a while as far as hp due to $$$, but i will be doing suspension and appearance. when i do get H/C, im going big, AFR 205 shaved .030 to get 11:1 with a nice cam, with 450 goal, however that is probably a year away. the problem is my tranny and rear WILL go out with that and this is my DD. im not doing this so i can beat everybody, but i do want to eat all the rice in town.

One of the guys in the crew is upgrading his block and is purchasing bigger headers, his FLP headers are for sale and are in excellant shape, (the rest of the exhaust too) and I'm sure we could even arrange an installation for ya....
If you REALLY want all the power out of your car you need a custom dyno tune- hp tuners is nice BUT- It's no substitute for actually putting it on the dyno and tweaking it just right. After headers/bolt-ons/and a cam, I picked up 30 RWHP over a "base" tune.

Got a deal for you Phoenix- FLP headers and Y pipe, with or without cats, installed $1,000. If you need a cat-back add a Borla installed $300.

That goes for anyone around Lafayette that needs a really nice, clean, exhaust system.

I will be getting a real tune once everything is finished, but i still want HP Tuners to adjust things myself and delete codes. i also have 2 cars to tune, and the dyno tune for both would be way too much.

Ricks is still having a cruise night on Saturday's- Last year the Ricks cruise night was on the fourth Saturday. This year on the third Saturday- and that it would no longer be at their place but at Mustang Sally's from 4-9, at the Hotel Acadiana. Rick's is getting together with the Harley shop for a bike/car night the fourth Thursday of the month from 6-8pm.
