i can probably get him to sell my engine for a little less... mine only have a few miles he would definetly want 750, but seeing as its my engine, i can make a deal... hes giving me money for it off the labor, so whatever he sells it for is less i have to pay him,

Also, what size tire did you go with? Does your speedo and stuff stay close to stock? i dont know what motor you have, i see t-tops so off the bat im thinkin 305 TPI with either auto/5 speed, what motor and stuff do you have, do you have traction problems?

sorry for all these questions, ive never had different than stock rims on my car, so i dont know, i would assume since the rim is 2 inches bigger in the back i have 2 less inches of tire, and with a 350, i scooted off the line with newer tires, but i think these rims/tire combo might give me traction probems?

nice looking as always, i miss that color some times.

what kind of power are you expecting out of that segment.

was 3400 for the longblock? seems pretty darn cheap, but i guess were even since my trans is half.

i did alot of searching for the cheapest place to get a complete zz4, and 3400 was it... most places are 3700 and up

speedo is fine, i have 305 tpi auto, but its gone now, the zz4 350 with t56 is being put in as we speak, i got digital dakota box or whatever u call it incase the speedo is off, but im pretty sure the rims didnt throw it off, they are exaxt same setup that comes on the vette, 275 /40 in the back 245/ 45 in the front...


witht the new setup im guessing over 360 hp at minimum, i really have no idea what to expect...

Are they gonna dyno it for you when they are done? That would be sweet if they do, nobody can disagree with a dyno sheet! The 1900 for the trans, is that the install price? Is it a brand new T56?

Thanks,
Brian

To kandied91z

I don't think any of us are in Kandied91z's league. I mean come on man. Your car is sweet now and you are still adding more. It's only the best looking, running car on this board, which covers the entire 3rd gen world. Do i sound jealous? well it's because I am. See i like my car and feel it looks good but if i had your money it would look even better. keep it up so we all have something to shoot for.
