Here is the official modification list. More pics, data and ET's to come this weekend.
[ul][*]Powerhouse Built Block[*]Weisco Pistons, 8-8-1[*]60lb Injectors[*]Boost a pump[*]8.8 Rear end w/3.73[*]LPW Girdle[*]PH/CHE Axle brace[*]New Red Powder Coated Valve Cover (will post pics once I clean engine bay)[*]MT ET Streets Drag Radials (255/50/16)[*]Powerhouse Ported Heads[*]Powerhouse 3 angle valve job w/upgraded valve springs[*]Powerhouse Turbo Cams (they also have Centri & Root cams available)[*]JBA shorty headers[*]New head gaskets[*]Upgraded transmission pan w/Amsoil Synthetic[*]PH/CHE Anti-Squat Brackets[*]Powerhouse Line Locks[*]Diablo Mafia[*]Modifed car to take Welds for front and back (future use)[*]Progress Technology Rear Sway Bar[/ul]On the day Powerhouse baselined the stock GT500, they also strapped my car down right after that. My car edged out the GT500 by 20RWHP. This is on the same machine. It was pretty cool. Now I just need to get my ET's to reflect that!

Rygen...if you don't mind me asking, are you sponsored? your car is a super beast but that can't be cheap....
Also...do you use it as your DD still or is it too powerful now for everyday street use?

Don't mind at all. I am not sponsored, I paid for all parts and labor, and yes, it cost a fair bit to go all out on this car. I drive it today actually, and still plan to drive it on a near daily basis.

Does your wife support you? or does she flip when you tell her you just spent another $10,000 on mods
thats cool using it as a DD, I bet the ricers are in for a real suprise now....once you get everything fine tuned will you be able to take a Z06?

Thats awesome...I think would follow the same path if I was single but my other half doesn't go for spending all our money on toys
