Default More Mods!!!!!!!!!

My car is going thru some changes over the next couple of weeks.
The tranny is getting upgraded, installing the spool in the 9in. finally,
Changing engine management systems. I was going to go with the BS3, but i am getting a excellant deal on a new Fast system with the XIM box.
Also getting rid of the Air to Air intercooler, and switching to the Air to water and placing it in the passenger seat. More boost, cooler intake temps,more power,less weight,and hopefully low 8's!

Why not keep it a killer street car?

It'll end up being a chopped up race car... and at that point, it wouldn't have the same sparkle it does now as one of the baddest street cars that can still be used to take your lady to dinner with....

Intercooler in the passenger seat?!

The intercooler will be mounted behind the dash. There is enough room there after i looked more closely. I will not be cutting it up. It will still look the same with the exception of the SS hood that is 2 inches higher.

Baller.

What's the car weigh?

The car already had 8's in it the way it sits...... but like someone else who bailed on a built project(who'll remain nameless )..... I guess we'll never know?

Mucho props.... but it seems(to me)like it's getting to the point(low 8's?) where it prolly wants it's mind made up what it wants to be?

Race car?

Street car?

Race car?

Street car?

You've prolly got the BADDEST "street" car in ATL. right now.

As for the baddest "RACE" car..... you've got a long way to go.

If you want a real race car, gut/cut/25.2 that pig and a make a real race car.

If you want the street car, step away from the evil check book.

If an 8.xx STREET car isn't enuf to swell yer pecker..... well.....

Ya know Chris.... you're starting to remind me of someone I know too well

Good luck with your quest.

I'm sure you'll reach your magic number either way-

Well, I am just getting the car prepared for next year! It is going to be streetable. That's the beauty of turbo's! I am switching to the A/W to keep intake temps down for the summer time, and for when the boost is up in the 25-28lb range. I want to see what these turbo's are capable of. After that they are going to be replaced for bigger one's as well as the motor! No baller here. It's all fun. Oh Mike, my wife is real happy with these decisions I made also!!

I talked to John this morning and we are going to try something a little different with the intercooler first before we move everything around. It will be a Air to water, but in a different way. This way, under the hood will still look the same!
