It wasn't like when it was all motor and I could beat the **** out of it and have fun doing it. Too much power and too short of a wheel base made the car more of a chore to drive than a pleasure.

I will also be selling the 4 into dual 3" exhaust for an addition 500$ but won't sell it until the kit is sold. (or both for 2k) I originally wanted 3500 for the piping and it would cost more than double to duplicate. I will make a for sale ad in a few minutes. Anyone interested let me know. This is pick up only and under no circumstances will I ship it.(shipping would be as much or more than the kit itself anyways)
I'm confused. It would cost more to ship than the cost of the setup?

I am ready, I just don't want to take money until its out of the car. As soon as its out I will let you know. And another update...ive decided to step it up a little more and instead of an LS3 stroked 418ci engine for about 1500 more im going to go with the 441ci stroked LS7 =) More power/torque/bragging rights/ect lol. With the 407 cfm heads im going with and custom cam, I should see over 700hp to the flywheel. Add a little nitrous and I don't see why the car won't be even faster than my last setup.
