About this Current Vehicle:
Bought in august of 2003, I started with simple bolt ons and eventually replaced the entire engine and rebuilt the transmission. It had a 383 stroker, heads ported by lloyd elliot, a custom cam by bret bauer through lloyd elliot, and an LT1 intake also ported by lloyd elliot. It put the power to the ground through a locally built 4L60E transmission and 3.73s in a stock 10 bolt rear end.
I got a severely traction limited best of 12.7 @ 112.5 a week before I spun a rod bearing. After nearly 3 years and more money than I would like to admit I decided to return the car to stock and try another project.
update: I'll consider this the old "version" of this car. I'll be starting the new version soon and since it'll be a bit different I'll start a new page.
