NNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE. Not something I usually say, but I like the looks of that STD !!!!! 
Another damn fun car by the looks of it!
But how are you going to heel-and-toe with that nitrous bottle between your feet????
Forgive me, but I'm on night shift and wired on chocolate-covered coffee beans.

Now Zed...I don't need no stinkin' clutch...
Seriously, I figure that'll be my pickup line. "Hey baby, wanna hold my nitrous bottle?"

Now if only GM made them like that from the factory. That thing is kickass. If you don't mind my asking, what kind of #'s did you get out of the heads?

Thanks.
The heads were actually a little weak by 2.2 standards. The small bore doesn't help either. They "only" flowed 380/260 I/E. There are guys here that have them that have gotten as much as 440+ intake...

Well it's not quite done but it does run and move under it's own power now. It's at the body shop getting the airbox made in the hood and a few other things. It should be back in a week or two. I'm hoping to have it on track in about a month.

Maple Grove of course. I'll let you know.
Thanks Jordon. I drove it 2 miles today at the body shop. That's quite a feat considering there are no plates on it and no windshield in it at the moment. I got on it pretty good on a twisty stretch. It's got LOTS of grip. I was short shifting it at about 5000 (it makes peak power of 740 @ 7400. at 5000 it's making about 500 even) and it accelerates so hard out of corners that it pushes the 315 fronts then gradually rotates. Those 335 Kumo's out back have an amazing amount of grip. Of course I was being ginger (Officer, let me explain how I ended up in this field in this car that has no windows or interior or plates or lights...) I did let it rip on a straight, still short shifting and it just lights em' up hard...in every gear. It'll definately go mid 10's on the motor, maybe better. We can't wait. Just a little longer...

Hey Dave,
Did Ken's Kustom Chassis save the templates for that center console? I think there might be a market for that (i.e. me ). Let us know how she runs.

Nice job on the console.
Even though mine is not a 4th Gen. It is an sb2.2 headed 434. Took longer than I had thought, but shes finally done.
