I could tell it was a GTO and not Monaroo because the smoke was coming from the tires and not under the hood!

Hell yea! Congrats Russ!

Thanks guys. Thinking of doing a 8.8 swap soon so I can run a sticky tire with a little less worry of breakage. Then we can see what it'll run in Strace Car mode.

Its got an LS2 now and pretty much every bolt on....exhaust, headers, rockers, tune and such.

That there is a corvette motor!

[DIGGLER]

still laughing at that motor. "you think it will be ok?..... yeaa.. shit lets just put it together and see how it does."
(had some surface rust in one of the cylinders that didnt want to clean up)

[GreebeanZ28]

So the engine was "seasoned". Lmao. Runs like a champ!

[Rattletrap]

belt or no belt?

[DIGGLER]

if no belt, run is not valid because a street car runs a belt. lol
motor makes awesome power to have had a sub-par surface in one cylinder.

[Rattletrap]

nitrous is an awesome thing!

[RoadconeTuning]

Belt was on

[GreebeanZ28]

As street car as it gets bo.

[GreebeanZ28]

I hear ya, Curtis. LOL.

Hell it had been under water when I got it. It amazes me that you guys just put it in lol.

[GreebeanZ28]

Scotch brites and some DubyaDee Fortay does the trick.

[RoadconeTuning]

pleasing power

[DIGGLER]

no joke, picked the little bits of trash out of it, cleaned the cylinders, blew it out best we could and that was it. it really is a miracle motor.
