Thanks guys!

I don't even think I'm going to spray this car. I think I'm just gonna drive it honestly and maybe play a little on the street. Of course, that's what I said about my TA when it was stock

Congrats 98!!! That FRC sounds awesome, and moves out very nicely. I bet that bike did not expect to see you even with him and pull a bit. That is awesome bro.

Other than H/C and the supporting mods, are you planning on anything else?

You know, 457 N/A really isn't THAT MUCH. Don't take that wrong, it's a lot of power, but it's not ungodly.

It must hook up pretty good and obviously isn't a pig, so it must move out pretty well to run such a good 1/8th N/A

Thanks guys. I'm not planning on doing anything, honestly, just driving it. I went the other route on my last car and don't want to do it again.

I was impressed with the 457 number b/c it made it with an LS6 intake and a stock/ported TB. You're looking at another 25-30rwhp with just the FAST 90/90 setup. So a simply heads/cam setup that makes 475rwhp on motor isn't bad. Plus, it's an FRC, so it's light.

IDK, it's fast enough for me the way it is.

I bought my last car bone stock and within a year it was like it was in the link in my sig. I've been down that route and just preferred to not do it again.

Having a damn fast car that runs good times at the track is great. But having a damn fast car that you can still drive and enjoy on the streets is so much better IMO. Congrats 98. Can't go wrong with the Vette.

Thanks bud. You hit the nail on the head. I was tired of running 55mph and being at 3500rpm....my old setup was great for racing but **** for driving on the street. This is the best of both worlds and it looks great.

I looked at several Foxbodies and F-bodies before I got this. Many were a good bit faster. They were also trailer queens. I see these guys with these highly modded Cobra's and ZO6's driving them anywhere they wanna go and still running 10's...some in the single digits, and decided that's what I wanted. Something I can get in and drive to the beach and back and not have to worry about it.
