um, u bend delete, resonator delete, and a high flow cat should get you into the 14's pretty easy and its cheap to do

i'm wanting to do the pulley soon, that should get it into the 13's if you do the pulley with colder plugs, and t-stat

wow, full of questions are we? i wanted a supercharger, but the truth was i only had $10,000 to invest in the car. i'm only a 17 year old high school kid (18 on Sep 1) so I think i did well to save up that much money mowing grass and doing odd jobs to buy such a nice car. it would have been virtually impossible for me to get credit on the car (besides, i hate credit anyway, get you in WAY too much trouble if your not careful). My drivers door is not broken, I was just poseing for a picture. I used to climb in and out of the window of my dads Silverado all the time back when it was all I had to drive ( I had a dixie horn, some friends bet me I coudn't get in like Bo Duke, and I ended up being "famous" around school for climbing thru windows.) . However, the Monte proves to be more difficult. I tried to climb out that day for just a picture.I do not normally do it anymore, and in fact have only attempted oncewithout succeeding. It's actually harder. I looked into why. Here are the only things I can figure

1: The window is shorter, making less space to slide your body out. It'slonger, but that doesn't help that much really considering the seat is in the way.

2: The steering wheel on the Monte is closer to the door panel than the steering wheel on a truck.

3: The powerswitches are on a part of the panel that juts out which cuts down your space. The 93 Silverado had a flat door panel except for a small part with a grip to grab to close it, and the power switches were parallel to the door panels.

All of this made climbing thru a window quite easy. Maybe if I can find the video I had of me doing that, I could try to upload it for your enjoyment.

The color of my Monte is Superior Blue, which is a lot of fun to find touch up paint for. As you probably know, it was first available on my year model, 2003 and was made for hte Jeff Gordon editions.

I do plan to take my Monte back to the track after I change my plugs, get the CAI, and get my computer retuned at the performance shop in Durham, NC. I will be sure ot post my times after I am done that day. The closest quarter mile track is 150 miles away. If I ever find my way out there on a night where they allow street cars, I will post my times from there.


I hope I have satisfied your curiosity, Mr. Space Rider

I have a 03 SS N/A and love the car. S/C would of been nice, but not really needed. I ride a gsxr/ninja so when I need true speed, nothing comes close to me on the road. So....dont feel bad about your speed/times in the SS. Its a cruiser car not meant for quick speed.

I love my monte

It's a cruiser all right, but they can be built for good speed too.

I love running with the bikes and giving them a good run for their money. They always seem puzzled why a domestic boat doesn't dissappear in their mirror. [8D]
