Default Ram Air V Project Update
Thought I would post these pics since the board is slow this time of year....we should have the car fired up in a week...all the removable panels are at the paint shop...trying to move this along so I can get some track time before VMP.

Where's the cup holder?

What a wicked looking ride. Will it be at Norwalk? I won't be a VMP.

I can't wait to hear the responses from the unknowing Chevy crowd when they look at those modified heads and say "that ain't no Pontiac...what is that?"

Jeff- that is the $60,000.00 question.....looking for mid 8's consistently without pushing it and if I pushed it 7's....of course if I pushed it and it broke....there would be much wailing and gnashing of teeth ....and then go twin turbo.....
