Default I'm getting so impatient!

I sent my heads off for a little work and it's still going to be another 2 weeks before they are done. I go out to the shop everyday and look at my bare engine block staring back at me from under the hood. It's saying hurry up! I can't wait till I button everything up and run this car! Pushing at or near 500+ hp is going to be such a rush! And especially since I just put new shoes on the back to get traction.

I know I'm going to baby the car since it's got a new stock clutch. But I also know that in the next year or two I'm still hoping to put in a LS3 416ci in there when I can save up the cash! It's also going to require driveline work for the extra HP!

I'm still excited, guess I'll turn in earlier and make the days hurry up and pass(like you did for Christmas as a little kid).

The wait just KILLS us, we want it and want it NOW! I know the feeling, but once it's back, ooooweeeeeeeeee it's going to be great. Since we've had some great weather, just go ahead and clay bar/wax it. Good luck, L8R ZFLASH

She'll be a whole new car. You'll wonder how you ever survived with 350hp.

500 hp will be such a rush. It will be worth all the time you are waiting once it gets put together.

I was the same way when I did my heads & cam. Couldn't wait to get it installed and back together. It's worth the wait, trust me.
