She's been there for a while but just got her back today

They installed a roll bar, headers, billyboat exhaust, and a 390 rear end

It sounds Awesome now, stock was just WAY too quiet

I have to take it easy for 50 - 100 miles to allow the gears to mesh properly

Once thats done, I'll take it back for him to dyno tune

Dick said I could pick up another 50 hp w proper tuning

Once I figure out how to post pics I'll put some up

I suppose my next mods will be some racing seats, harnesses

then bigger brakes and shocks

Congrats on the new mods!

Thanks, the gf was pissed

she says its too loud and its not comfy anymore w the roll bar and its not a race car

its a family car

I told her I was going to trade it in on a Prius

Congrats. Looking forward to pics.

Good move.

Congrats on the upgrades! We need pics though

Have fun with it.

The thing is a BEAST

I'm going to wrap the intake in a heat reflective blanket for a few more hp

Its pretty loud but when you punch it, it just sounds like a V8 symphony

I have to take it easy for 100 miles so the new rear end breaks in well

Cant wait to really open her up

I'll probably swap the seats for some SPARCO seats, that should give me a little more leg room and holes for harnesses

Is Dick going to rent Willow this year for customer day?

ZO6 AL-X · 03-25-2008, 08:50 PM

The roll cage looks good.

LeMans Blue · 03-25-2008, 10:06 PM

Thanks, I'll ask him about WIllow, that would be fun

Going to do the big brake kit in April

LeMans Blue · 03-27-2008, 01:28 AM

I'm loving the new exhaust, even the gf is getting used to it

and people seem to like it, 1 guy in a new toyota SUV asked me if I wanted to race

extanker · 03-27-2008, 02:16 AM

that 390 has to be a gas.what are you using to make traction [tires]

LeMans Blue · 03-27-2008, 10:07 AM

I just broke in the gears so I havent really flogged it yet

Probably Sunday I'll get on it when I go to the car show while the gf is snoozing

It definately feels stronger though

extanker · 03-27-2008, 10:33 AM

and the tires are ?
