I really appreciate you taking the time to go through my thread. Most the time it seems like just a sound board to journal/log my thoughts and progress on.

Today was a big day as it's the first day the car has legitimately seen the street. And it was AWESOME!!!







Got about 20-30mi in. Got to see some throttle in 2-3 instead of a little in first. It's fast. Damn fast. Faster than anything I've had. And by a significant margin. Haze 345 drag radials at 50-60mph fast rolling into throttle.

I can't wait to get it tuned and turned up!!!

light tint the bottom lights to match your headlights, Match the trunk area between the spoiler and the tail panel and then you are set. nice work

I hadn't thought about tinting those lights. That's a good idea.

Not sure I'll match under the spoiler. Worried it may look a little weird since you'll still have body color under it on the sides.

Yea we do. Now that I can get mine out of the garage. Maybe a better photo can exist than this one.

It was very awesome. I'll dig up some 240 photos. Quick info is big turbo 5.3 and a built auto. It's gone 10.5@137 so far!!! Lot more left in it.

You will definitely know when I know. My guess is it's around 650 as it sits untuned on 9 psi. Tune and more boost and shooting for 1000 on pump gas.
