Looks like a good time!

the whipple cobra was a disappointment and the driver shifted slow. The silver ported car seems slow for what it is also

It is a new car to him so he is still learning how to drive it, And some of the rolls were from 30-40 and the car spins hard because street tires FTL lol

GTR runs hard of course.

I'll never quite understand why people drop the money on a big cube stroker LS2, use stock 243 heads, ls6 intake/ls1 TB, shitty tq converters and stock 10-bolt's with 3.23 gears. Sweet, lets dump a lot of money on a motor to say it is big cubed when it runs like junk...

I was reading the mods going . could have atleast got the heads ported, a fast intake, and fast tb and pick up 60-70 more to the wheels.

Probably due to $$. Judging from the rest of the setup maybe he blew his motor or something and needed to swap something in there. Just thinking out loud as I have no idea what the actual reasoning was.

Most people do mods in stages because they don't have the money to fund a complete build all at once...which is the reason (IMO) that you often see a partially built car.

I figured that much. Just depressing to see a 403 LS2 stroker and thinking , and then seeing the mod list and then proceeding to

Hopefully he gets the rest of the stuff up to the motor's standard

Well he wasn't too happy about saying he was going to drag everyone this year over the winter and he got pulled by pretty much everyone so he said he is doing some "secret" mods next month so we will see ha

No doubt the car will be quick if it gets a nice set of heads/intake and some spray
