No problem Steve, your car is easily one of the nicest I have seen on here and apparently it also runs as good as it looks!

Headers , down pipe , crossover and complete 3" single shot are all polished stainless , no coatings. Polishing was done by Art Fry from the Excessive Acceleration gang.
I'll let you sit in it Dave. I should let you drive it. It needs a weight reduction. That would be cheaper and easier that changing parts.

Thanks Ted. Your car is very nice too.

Rear suspension is a homemade wolfcraft style anti rollbar, homemade lowers, H & R double adjustable uppers, QA1 shocks, stock springs.

Thumbs up nice car
This is one of the cars that have inspired me to work harder on my wife’s car. It escapes me on how such a beautiful car that performs so well has not appeared on the cover of GM High Tech. The pictures are nice, but it looks so well in person. Every hose, every wire, etc, is routed so precisely. Attention to all the details was orchestrated on this car. For example the paint and body work on the firewall is nicer than the paint on the body of most other cars.

Also I love the big boost gauge.

Thanks Sam. The big boost guage is history. I made a GNX dash for it last winter. We got some of them new brown trucks in in december that you engineered. Nice work . The drivers love them.
