Trust me, I wish it was as easy for me to street race as it used to be, I absolutely love street racing. I know it might sound funny, but I get a high off the adrenaline rush from street racing.

Doesn't matter, the last clutch in my Cobra isn't holding the power, so I wouldn't be running it anyway.

Well that will depend on how the night before goes. I don't see myself wanting to drive that far the day after though but we will see.

Yea I know how he is.

Just start with a 150 shot and go from there.

To whoever said they were getting the A&A kit make sure you upgrade to the T trim cause the headunit it comes with is on the small side or just get a ECS kit since it already comes with the better headunit and a restrictor plate.

Haha, what's up Shannon! I thought that was you in the video, but last I had seen you was still in love with your CTS-V. Didn't know that you had gotten back into a Vette.

I was trying to make plans with the Wilmington crew for New Years, but as the days get closer to New Years, more of them are dropping out, doing something else for New Years. As it looks now, I might not be doing anything for New Years, so I just might be down to try and make Grill 57.

I knew that I was rolling the dice when I put another Centerforce Dual Friction back in my car. The first one had GREAT street manners and was able to hold the power my car made, so I was hoping that the second one I put in the car would do the same. If I didn't dd my Cobra, then I would of went ahead and bought something else. Looking back now, it would of been better to just have ponied up the extra money and bought a McLeod RXT..that's what I will do when this clutch ***** the bed.

That or a D1SC will finish your car off really nice. Have fun with traction after that though.

Just make sure it's the V3 T trim and not the little Si trim. Friend of mine had the Si on his LS3 vette and it was pretty much out of steam at 633rwhp. He swapped out the bracket and headunit for a D1SC recently and the powerband is better since it pulls harder and makes more power without even breaking a sweat. Not trying to say you won't be happy with it but make sure you do your research first cause most shops will tell you whatever to make a sell. It will be easier for you to make power with the 427 but you definitely want the right blower on it so it doesn't max faster.

I would say go with an F-1 to feed that 427ci.
