Awesome, Good to hear Chris. Can't wait to see her in action again. I'm itching to do some serious performance upgrades....it is a small itch now but who knows how long it will last before I actually scratch. Haha.

What did you put down for power numbers and which package did you do?

xtreme2s · 08-06-2013, 10:13 PM

Chris, what brace are you going with? Or just spacing the stock unit

Hotchkis chassis max. Exhaust is too big with spacer kit and i cant bring the brace lower than the exhaust. Ryan is talking with hotchkis. Maybe make the piece to go over exhaust?

Its the same cam pkg i had with other motor. . Got 452 rwhp on Karl dyno. That is 20 more than the cammed L99 i had. This one is an LS3. Got 420 rwtq.

Might be missing something here...but did you have to pull the engine and put a different on in Chris?

SRyan, Yes I have different engine. To make a long story short....Ted replaced engine and cam pkg. He really stepped up and proved he stands behind his work. I will tell you whole story at next show or cruise or get together.

Uh Ohhh.

Ryan was ordering me the same Hotchkis kit. I liked the way it connected body to the cradle compared to others it's body only.

guess I better call Ryan in the morning

He is off thurs and fri. Let me know if you find something. I think Ryan said the
SLP brace wont work either. Car sits a little lower now so gotta watch clearance.

Hey everyone, I finally found a die cast of my ride

. . .however on a side note, I think I made a mistake by buying a limited edition car. I am thinking of selling it since I don't want to drive it much or put the mods on that I want for fear of ruining any value.

BenningJ · 08-07-2013, 11:15 PM

Things can always be put back to stock....Ask me how I know!

As for mileage, fuggetabautit, you have a limited edition. Will miles lower the value, sure but not that much.

rberns · 08-08-2013, 12:42 AM

Troy, don't know how long you plan on keeping the car, but I wouldn't worry about the value/modding as long as you enjoy the car and plan on keeping it.

xtreme2s · 08-08-2013, 08:01 AM

I agree, enjoy the car, with any mod's you like. If your thinking to re-sell in future to regain the cost being an special edition, if you follow or watch the auctions, extreme low miles does not men good returns unless the car is older, say 10 years or so
