Well i first started out with a black gt with P.I intake manifold and heads someone ran a red light and totaled it so i got this green gt stock with a bad tranny.

The motor and tranny was still good execpt for a cracked timing cover on my totaled car so i pulled the motor and tranny out of both cars and put my totalled cars motor on the stand.

So now that the motor is out it needed to be a little stronger so we started off with some Probe forged pistons and forged rods balanced the crank and total seal rings next we got a cobra oil pickup. that finished up the block next we still had the P.i heads on there exept we used ARP studs on them.

Looks nice...hope you've got some nice looking wheels with a chrome finish to go with the new paint? Painted wheels I don't think are going to cut it now?

Click to expand...

I agree on that. Chrome is a must with that paint job. Also what about exhaust and tune? Looks killer though man.

Exhaust and tuner

So for the exhaust it is the SLP loudmouth exhaust and it sounds amazing. For the tuner i went with SCT SF3 power flash they come preprogrammed but thats not the way to go so we brought it to Bottle Blown racing in Camarillo and it sure took a lot of fine tuning but finally got tuned in and sounding and feeling amazing!! Here some pics from the dyno.
