Probably the last good day.. pics!

Well today was probably one of the last good days weatherwise here in IL, so since I actually had a day off of work, I washed and waxed the IROC and took some new pics. The ones of my favorite angle came out blurry, unfortunately, but here are some of the good ones. More are on my Cardomain site, link is in the sig.

Not sure if I'm gonna have any winter plans for the car or not. I want to continue saving my money so I can get a house or condo within a year. I also finally got the car running decently. I regapped all the plugs and it runs much smoother. Its ready to be re-dynoed next Tuesday before and after I swap the injectors. I think they might be too big so I will be swapping the stock ones back in to see which gets better power on the dyno. Then it'll probably be good enough for a while.

Opinions?

Very cool, I didn't know you got the LT1 intake on yet...looks great. I also like how it looks completly stock, and then the 91-92 GFX and bumper catch your eye. Very nice

TunedPort 335: Yep, the LT1 intake has been on since spring of '03

sellmanb: Thanks . When I took the old stripe off when I did the ground effects swap, the plan was to see how it looked without it and put it back on if I didn't like it without it. However, when I took it off, I saw that whoever painted the car before actually painted OVER the old sticker So I had to put a new one back on, but I'm glad I did. I like it

I don't know how much I felt with the intake, because I burned up the trans after putting it on.

Thanks for the compliments guys
