I will agree with that post.:)

The original pic is CSE 034. ITZKirb shoots all of the cars for the L4P.com crowd...he is an amazingly talented photographer. I worked on that car for the second owner a few years back.

Here is another one I've done...

Shelby G.T. 500 E Super Snake SS021 One of 43 built.

It puts down just shy of 800/800 at the wheels with 12 lbs. Smaller pulley hit 15lbs on a part throttle run but it was so violent we slowed the pump down for drivability.... never did see what that pully topped out at. Plus I don't like building stuff on the ragged edge for these clients. Better to live easy and live long... People like driving their cars instead of fixing them all the time.

The Super Snakes were originally built with a carbureted Vortech V2 rated at 725 crank hp from the engine builder. I've done 3 like this with a V7, intercooled, EFI. Completely streetable.

That is awesome man. AWESOME!:thumbsup:
I assume this is all on pump gas too? And you're right,...people want to drive their cars, not fix them all the time.

The cars that Revved puts out are built to a much higher level of fit and finish than the movie cars we saw, and much more solidly built than some 'other' companies were putting out for a while.

For example, this is one of the eleven cars built for the movie. Really cool, but not a high-end show car.

Yes all on pump gas. All the cars I build and service are street driven so having them tuned to run on race fuel defeats the purpose of being street drivable.

Thanks for the compliment! I just really focus on making vehicles street drivable and enjoyable for my clients!
