Nice car man. I approve. I vote staying away from the strokers. Only because it really twists everyones panties when you go as fast as a stroker car with stock cubes. Get some footage of it!!

If you have e85 around what about a higher compression heads/cam/fast setup?

Didn't even know you got a vette. Do a blower for sure.

Just stick a vette in your signature and enjoy the love.

The Vette is a nice package for a centri. Detoxx knows all about it....

If you do a stroker, be careful of the 4.100 and even the 4.00 in the LS3 stock block. They can have high wear from piston rock. 3.90 shouldn't give you the same issue, but I think only K1 offers it off the shelf.

If he talks about how awesome his C6 in every damn thread where there is definitely no C6 involved - then yes, people may still be annoyed by him.

Sometimes when I see one without a centri it feels a little weird cause it looks stock
