Brian,

Looking good..congrats. :thumbsup:

So we can see/hear more of it up close and personal, how about doing some fly-bys?

Thanks! We are having it tuned and dynoing it tomorrow. I should have some good video to post up after

Mmmmmm... DYNO PORN!!!

We got the car tuned and strapped it to a dyno today. Since the drive shaft wasn't sufficient enough to make a pull in 3rd gear (tuner was afraid of it coming apart in 3rd) we did a pull in second instead. The car put down 311whp and 297wtq. Overall we are happy with the power numbers our little 5.3 put down. Not bad for a daily driver muscle car. Here are a couple videos...

Brian,

Car's got a nice sound to it.

I had just a stock 5.3 and still liked it.

What do you think of your 5.3 so far?

Also, how is it with the t-tops?

Thanks, we really like it, its a great all around engine for a daily driver car like this. We hit all our goals with it, great reliability, nice drivability, decent gas mileage and over 300hp. Perfect combo for this application. Its not at the monster power numbers like most are accustomed to seeing on this site, but for what we will use it for, we don't need 500+ hp

That color scheme rocks. Love the orang-ish strips on top of the maroon/burgandy. :king:
