I like those 278's too, but I searched for awhile and never actually found much information on them...only a handfull of people have them that I've seen.

Thats even better. When everybody and their bother is buying them then I wouldnt want them. Thats why I sold my z06's and HP evo's. But with a CCW or Fikse you dont have to worry about that to much...

Good, now go tune it and lets go see what it will do now. Jason said he's ready to hurt your feelings a little bit.. JK! He did say he talked to you though. How about the nitrous kit did you put it on there?

Ya i talked to jason, ya right now it pulls hard from like a low roll. I think it needs a tune and an LS6 intake bad and a ported TB but thats all coming along with an underdrive pulley. Hoping for like mid to high 11s on motor.

Were gunna mess with it quite a bit with the HPtuners but ive gotta get the exhaust on it 1st bc the o2's are throwing mixed signals.

LOL will you please just buy a 9" and be done with it how much you have spent on all those 10 bolts you could have had one by now...

I think my 10 bolt is whining, maybe it didn't like that testing of the transbrake at 2 in the morning on I459
