If you're looking for a low mileage pristine one owner car, this is not the car for you. But if you're in the market for a built street car with a ton of money already invested into it at a fraction of the cost, let's get to the good stuff....

Engine-
6.0L iron block bored .030 over
Callies stroker crank to make 408CI
Compstar rods
Diamond nitrous pistons, rings are setup and gapped for up to a 300 shot
Thunder Racing StroKer cam .248/.254 .618/.624 110LSA *thumps so hard the cam is no longer produced*
LS7 lifters
317 truck heads ported and polished by Total Engine Air Flow
Patriot gold dual valve springs
Harland-Sharp roller rockers
Melling high flow oil pump
Dual chain timing set
Edelbrock Vic Jr intake with 42lb injectors
Edelbrock 3848 EFI elbow
Edelbrock fuel rails
Fast 92 Throttle Body
Catch can setup
SLP airbox lid
ARH 1 7/8 Headers
All ARP bolts throught bottom end and ARP bolts/studs in top end. All new gaskets and seals when motor was freshened around 3500 miles ago by Roberts Machine in Lexington, KY
The engine blows a bit of smoke while driving and at idle. It's driveable as is for the rest of the season but will need new rings put in over the winter.

Driveline-
T56 rebuilt by Wayne Johnson same time the motor was out being freshened
Stage 2 Tremec upgrade kit
New 1-4 gears
Carbon fiber blocker rings
New synchros on all gears
New bearings
Pro 5.0 short throw shifter
Resurfaced flywheel
New slave cylinder
Tick adjustable clutch master cylinder
Tick remote Speed-bleeder
Anti-shatterproof bellhousing
McLeod twin-disc clutch
This clutch is awesome, has a real nice feel without being too stiff. Only downside of the trans is I can't get it into reverse from neutral while the car is running. if you put the shifter in reverse then start the car it will function just fine, then put back to a forward gear like normal. I have a feeling the clutch isn't disengaging all the way but I don't know. Still drives around town just fine in all other gears with the exception of 1st being a little notchy, but I haven't had any problems shifting at WOT either.

-Rear End/Suspension
9" Rear end housing
Moser 35 spline axles
12mm ARP studs
Strange 3rd member
4.11 Yukon gears set on .06 back lash
Strange 9" Spool
UMI double adjustable lower control arms
UMI single adjustable panhard bar
Founders panhard bar relocation kit
UMI body mount adjustable torque arm with driveshaft safety loop
Competition Engineering rear shocks (Unsure of fronts)
Weld-in subframe connectors

-Wheels/Tires
Racestar Big N Littles
Rear 15X10 with M/T 295/55/15 Drag Radials LESS THAN 50 MILES ON THEM
Front 15X3.75 with Goodyear Eagle drag tires off of a Top Sportsman car (only pictured in one photo)

-Extras
Kooks 3" true dual exhaust system LESS THAN 500 MILES ON IT uncatted quad tip I've never heard a better sounding N/A LSX car
Dual Walbro 255's
Racetronix hotwire kit
MSD 2-step
Aftermarket fiberglass WS6 hood
Raptor shift light on the A-pillar
SLP line lock with switch in the ash tray
Pioneer head unit with front USB/AUX
Has 99+ computer and harness repin already done
Audiobahn door and rear speakers
5% tint all around
New drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic brake pads on all 4 corners only a couple hundred miles on them
Tuned by BLUECAT in Speed Density
Fog lights/front sway bar/AC removed
Have everything but 1 line to put AC back on
BMR battery relocation included with car

Overall I give the interior/exterior a 6.5 out of 10. Drivers seat bolster is ripped, dash is cracked, no door cracks, carpet is decent. Exterior the paint is just a cheap paint job, some cracking around the drivers side fog light and license plate cover. Few chips missing behind the drivers side rear tire, small dings here and there, paint fading up top behind T-tops. Car is a great 10 footer and looks sexy passing you in traffic, it's when you get closer you can see all the flaws. If you've made it this far you're probably interested in the built driveline and expensive parts this car already has, not the weekend car show winner.

Between the T56, 4.10's, radials/skinnys and the donkey dick cam, this car makes for one hell of a ride. No problems driving around town, even my mother who hasn't driven a stick car in 20 years cruised no problem while wearing heels. I don't have any receipts from the build, but I do have a dynosheet where the car put down 525RWHP N/A on Bluecats dyno and 740RWHP on a 200 shot. Car has ran a best of 10.72@130 N/A and 10.01@138 on a 150 shot that I have a video of. Motor was not sprayed after the last rebuild and all the nitrous components have been taken off. I'm sure I'm forgetting plenty of things, feel free to ask for any more details or pictures. Body shows 96,0XX miles, clear IL title. Car just passed IL emissions end of June with a clean pass!

I also race a Top Dragster around the Midwest/east coast most every weekend and could put the car on the lift in my trailer if I'm headed your direction sometime soon.

I included all the details about the motor/trans/paint because I want to be as honest as possible, I'm not looking to hustle anyone. Don't need to sell, if I don't find a buyer i'll go through it over the winter then the price goes up. Open to trades, let's see what you've got! Also have a 04 Monte SS with 103K and some cash for an upwards trade. I really see myself in a C5Z....

$10,000 OBO
Call/Text Kyle 815-575-2761 if I don't answer leave a message and i'll get back to you

***Imageshack is cockblocking me from making the pics any larger, but if you click one it will take you to my album with more detail***

Idle vid was taken in November/December so it was very cold outside. Car does NOT smoke nearly as bad as the video suggests.

Or if you'd like some music....

I just picked up a diesel truck so I don't have the cash to put towards the trade. Sounds like a nice ride though! If you sell your car though shoot me a message.
