Proof of LT4 block?

Gray/silver cars are the fastest.

Yes! I will tell you though, I saw a gorgeous SOM WS6 for sale at a dealership and would definitely not mind my C5z06 being that color.

SOM is a gorgeous color, but I prefer CGM. Yes, I'm obsessed

I've also come to terms that when I buy a C6, it will contain the leather wrapped interior. I don't care about weight - the look and feel is much better than that cheap plastic crap.

Also, read one page of camaro 5 page Patrick posted. Guys are idiots. Who gives a **** if a guy sends his car to the shop or not?

Why waist time on such a ghey site? I can't stand when douchers bitch about street racing lol. It's because they are old, have cars that are slow, and don't have the $ to mod.

They are both filled with people with more $$$ than common sense. I got flamed on Vetteforum for trying to sell my stock TI exhaust for 400$. Screw those guys.

You know you fail when you spend 40k and make a car look worse then a stock one.

If it is a true LT4 then the heads and rear are worth more then you paid for the whole car. Depending on brand and condition I can see 1200-1500 for the rear end.

True LT4 heads/intake value totally depend on the buyer. While they do have more potential over the LT1 castings, you can get good condition LT1 cores for 200 bucks that are fine for a mild ~400-420rwhp street car when ported, which is the route most people go. Because of the name and rarity though, you see people asking crazy prices for the heads, and those that don't know any better spend a bunch on the intake too (it isn't any better then a stock LT1 one, just painted red with different shaped ports to match the LT4 heads). You can probably get another 1200-1300 for the heads/intake as a combo.

That's already a conservative $2400-$2800 with just the heads/intake and rear - not counting the block and roller. You can pull the tranny, sell everything else, and end up with more money then you started .

thanks... bumping the revs a bit with the re-tune... then dropping in the polished/lightened 3.90s after the track.

Little disappointed Razor hasn't gotten back to me.. At all. I want to know if I can get my alky pump here by Friday. I E-Mailed him Wednesday letting him know the pump would be there today, and I would like a couple things changed when he rebuilds it. I also asked for him just to confirm the arrival of the pump. Maybe my expectations are out of line, I don't know.
