Personally, i think that is butt-*** ugly. Keep it the same...Those IROC wheels are great. Maybe the cowl hood, but not those horrible wheels.

Nice engine, but the car needs to lose the Bra and also if you clean up the interior with some Armor All or something it will look a lot better
Don't paint the stock rims black though.

Yeah, i know. that bra is on there only because there is a nice crack on the nose from the previous owner, and now the paint is slightly yellowed. I have a new nose ready to go on.
the interior.....well it needs some cleaning.
keep em comin!

I like the dark wheels, but I'd leave the outer band shiny. When I painted the charcoal back into my IROC wheels, I kept staring at them before I pulled the tape off the polished part. I really liked the solid charcoal look.

I like the black wheels. If you could find some 16x8 steelies, on a white car you could get that Police Interceptor look going.

Finally some people who like the black wheels!
I think i will like it better with black. I am going to try just filling in the grey areas with black but leaving the lip and tht tops of the spokes silver, like on the 2002 SS wheels.
If that looks like a** then I'll go all black. If that looks bad, then i am going to strip all the paint and clearcoat off and keep them polished.

Yeah, its the Lingenfelter/Accel SuperRam intake.
I didn't get any track times with it on because my engine hydro-locked in a flood a few months back
-right afer i put the intake on!
I can say that it made a big difference from 3500 rpm and up compared to the stock tpi i was running. It pulled hard to 6000 even with the vette heads and small cam, although it peaked around 53-5400 rpm.
It is now going atop a set of AFR 190s with a LT4 hot cam in my new 357. It will scoot if i get it all tuned in.
