Same as before Tony. A few trips to HRP, hittin' the late night back roads and playin' with some of the big(ger) boys! This is a true blue "street" car. Keepin' the A/C and still be running pump gas.



Thanks Mike...yeh should be fun. When I get finished I may be callin' ya for some some fine tunin' on the paint...I know you've been practicin'...



LOL...I wouldn't mind another write up. Was alot of fun! The grafiti on the heads, I kinda like it...
Well looking at the pictures it might make 500rwhp if you put a few stickers on it LOL! Looks good wish I would have had a camera to take some of the internals they looked wicked in themselves.

Looks like its going to be a beast!

When we put the nitrous on Matt's car we will have to do something at HRP. On the street Matt's car is useless, even already on Motor. I can imagine what yours is going to do to your street tires LOL!

Sounds like fun...we'll have to do just that. Saw the vid with Matt and Tony's pass. Looks very nice and would be a monster with a decent size shot...I know how that feels! Hope to be out soon...

DJ- what intake and TB are you using. I`m trying to figure out a direction for my set-up. My fast90/90 doesn`t keep up with the ET heads I have. Thanks for any help. Motor looks sweet!

WOW Is that a carb intake with a custom fit TB or is that a kit you can buy to fit a TB on a carb intak? If thats a custom job that is bad ***. A one of a kind piece as far as I know. Keep us posted with the results.

I see someone brought this thread up from the dead so I'll go ahead and give some updates...

First and foremost I want to thank Mike Pabon aka Mr. ICONAUTOSPORTS (832-731-5906) for his time, patience and craftsmanship on the biggest and most $$$$ project I've done to the SS to date.

Alot has changed to the car since the MTI 422 was last ran. I have to give major props to Joe Gonzalez at G&G Performance Engines for building a virtually bullet proof LS2 408. I couldn't be happier with the way it has turned out. I know this project was a learning curve for everyone involved.

At this time she's finally back home and ready for some "real world" tunning. Thanks to Eric (ESR) for his time and dedication to making it just right for the street/strip as it was intended to be...some final touches will be put on it this week and then hit the rollers to see exactly where we are at with this set up.

I'll be posting some new pics and a vid so everyone can get a better sense of how the car looks and sounds...

Thanks again Mike (IconAutoSports) for all you've done in making this a reality...now lets go kick some ***!!!
