Thanks. Cobra block, forged pistons, forged connecting rods, forged crank with a stroker kit. Fox lake stage 2 heads, blower cams, p51 intake. Cobra tank, gt40 pumps, upgraded fuel lines and rails, 75 lb injectors. Gonna be using a procharger p1sc-2 with a meth injection kit and smaller pulley. The goal is 600rwhp.

what the hell are you thinking


just kidding with you Matt, I can't wait to go for a ride in it this time, the last set up was nice even thought you knew enough not to let me drive it.

But it does look good as all the other cars you have owned homie

They're hoping to have the car done early next week. Then put a few miles to make sure there are no leaks or problems with the motor. Then I get it back and for 500 miles, no more than 2-3 lbs of boost and no more than 4000 rpms. Thats really gonna kill me, cuz I know Im gonna wanna get on it a little bit. Then back to the tuner, change the oil, and put the street tune on it. Im hoping for between 535-545 rwhp with this tune. Then, in like a month and a half, back to the tuner for meth kit, smaller pulley, and new tune. Hoping for 610-620 rwhp. Ill keep you informed. Thanks for looking and listening!!
