thanks...it needs a new front seal on the tranny...it hasnt gotten the love it deserves...perhaps ill go the mechanical route with the monte like you did (which is an awesome setup by the way)...since i went the audiophile route with the impala....but seriously though...when the manual for the amplifier says to use earplugs you know its good...i do have a light ringing in my ears lol...

Your car is such a sleeper. I read it, looked at your sig pic and im like "oh another one thinking they beat someone who didnt even try" Then I read the specs and I just kinda hung there in confusion for a bit. hahah nice win

Did you install the turbo kit yourself, or did ZZP do it and tune it?

that's awesome i like hearing story like this. this go to show you that with a good chunk of $$ and some tweaking on the motor you can blow out just ABOUT any V8 anytime/anyday. i wish more of people in this forum understand the potential of our little V6 is capable of. enuff of my rant nice killed btw.

i was reading on you HP and track time. you making about 425-450 and ran 13.0 @ 109mph i figure you should be in the low 12's or high 11's should you?? not trying to be a ***** here, but maybe your friend need to do a better tuning for you.

i ran 13.6 @ 103 mph with cam, heads, 42 injectors, 3.29 and 18" 'stang bullitts wheel and those wheels weight a ton. couldn't get them to hook for sheep. i had a good tune that's why i think i was able to get that number. i was 305 hp at the time.

Thats pretty good! When i ran the 13.0 i was probably about 400 hp at 12 psi. I just turned it up so now its in that range. I never had it dynod so its just an estimate. Im running again this friday so we'll see how it does!
