I plan to drop it a bit and boost it as well.

It put down close to 400RWHP and 420RWTQ N/A and needs some more tuning




So here are all the pics...I will post more as the work continues.

Today I got the rad in, and took out some more un-needed things.

Still have alot of work left.

-1 3/4 Long tubes
-Drive shaft
-Drop the tranny Pan
-power steering
-plugs
and other small goodies

oh Ya, It took a total of 5 hours to get the 355 out and the 383 in .

Also the motor was in a 97 WS6 and went 12.0 N/A. And im going to be spraying it . Also my 3rd gen weighs about 300lbs less

So when I spray I am hoping for a high 10 second pass
