so what would it take to be able to run with a vette, can you add H/C/I would that be enough or do you have beef up the lower end of the engine. i got destroyed today and i knew he would get me but i had no clue it would be that bad

I'll put this where you'll be sure to get some feedback. The street/strip section is full of GM guys that I'm sure will be more than happy to fill you in on what's needed.

+1 thats the cheapest way


but if you want to do it n/a no nos ect
thena full build is in order
