Whoa, I would $hit my pants if I drove that thing.

I love those rims, what kind are they? Also that rear is looking pretty mean, do you have any shots of the back?

. . . . . . and damn KB just keeps going up and up in it's blowers, seems like they will never stop. ;)
Here are a few more pics for you..

Who built the motor?

What made you do a supercharger over a twin turbo setup?

Curious, but I doubt you do.
But do you have an intercooler somehow with that setup?
Not talking chemical, actual intercooler.

I saw this car at Synergy while I was getting one of my customers custom LS1 turbo car tuned. It is deffinetly a sweet vette.
What's with the cellophane on the front of the car during the dyno???

Yes it was. However it did gain a lot more of its popularity from the Mustanger crowd from being used on many Ford engines that are in the various Mustang's. After a while it has just become synonymous......or at least that is the way I see it.

Yes it has an intercooler..

The heat exchanger is in the nose, and the I/C is right beneath the S/C itself.

Here are the latest and FINAL numbers..

If you cant see the numbers very well, its 801rwhp and 851rwtq.
That calculates to OVER 1000fptq at the crank.:bowdown:

Also, as you can see, I got some new shoes....
