just got off the phone and the winter car project is complete. it started out as a plain jane 99 vette but with a few nice options like the Z51 suspension package, 6 speed tranny, and a few others. but, in reality, it was just a run of the mill 345 horse pwerplant. Until now.

We replaced heads, cam, intake, throttle body, clutch/pressure plate, added long tube headers, high perfomrmance exhaust, breather, ecm calibration, and to finish it off installed a short throw linkage for the shifter.

It checks in at like 450 hp......very please !

Very nice, I got a 98 Mustang GT with some expensive crap that makes it go fast. I got 450 WHP for about 3.5 seconds at a time...

Yeah, I hear that. My Mustang didnt cost a quarter of your vette and Im feelin it. With gas lookin to go up to 4 F**kin' dollars a gallon Im gonna be on the bike a lot more. I like my car though, believe it or not it gets more @$$ than the bike does, carrys more too. Girls like to go fast without messin up their hair. Thats where the Mustang comes in. 125 shot with H/C/I and full exhaust, built rear end, T5 trans w/ Gforce kevlar clutch, but it has a leather int and a goodsmooth ride until I get into it... I got a lowering kit and a Saleen wing to put on it soon. Ill post another pic when I get around to installin that ****.
