Who knows, maybe someday it will be worthy enough to travel down the 1/4 mile along-side of you!
Your to generous with your words, thanks much. Yet in all honesty for build design help in my opinion the TOP member here on the forum for that would be Turbo Monte (John). He is the hands on get dirty guy. Mine I gave the builder the results I wanted and told him to try and get there. When it comes to serious high power builds, I'm a chicken, already lost one build due to a half arsed Vegas builder. I can do heads, add parts to the short block and get it running, but I'm not the internal spec'd out builder. Would love to run into you as well, let you see what it took to get me where the car is at now.

Did those racing seats fit easily or did you have to modify a little

Your absolutely correct, I was just burning these tiresoff for shi#* and giggles as I'm done with them. I have drag tires for the track, John is getting his wrinkle walls all ready to get nasty out there too..

Hope he has a beefed up diff and front suspension. Slicks will tear a stock front end to pieces

Well thats a given, John's Monte is as well built as mine. We pretty muched paid our dues in broken parts and they are now ultra built. Johns tranny will be a few notches in quality above mine, He is still out selling plasma to pay for all his GMPP parts...

I've got parts in my trans you probably don't even know exist (no offense) my trans has every hard part GMR ever built for it, also have TEP upgrades the whole way through.

Idk why your trying to talk down to me and my car in all honesty. Your new here and havnt been around to know and see my build happen so why talk like that? Go research my previous posts here and you will find a ton of build threads of turbo Monte. I've been in the 3800 scene since 2007 now, I feel I'm pretty seasoned on what breaks and how to make big power out of these cars.

Lol Greg I told you already I know where more GMR parts are sitting and I'm willing to go get them for you or anyone that is making above 450whp. I say over 450whp because under that Zzp and intense and TEP has parts to handle up to around there.

Guys guys, no need to start any arguments.

If you have pride and money in your build and your car is faster than the normal, be proud of what you drive!

Doesn't matter who is the fastest, only matters is that no one else can keep up with you

I would love to see all of our high powered members line up, that's a damn dream right there.
