I was hoping they'd drop in a 502, like the 57 they did.

i like the bracket they bolted on that holds the alternator and new style ac compressor, it also allows for one serpantine(sp?) belt. Thinking of doing that myself

Anyone notice they put true duals and two cats on the car? Funny they televise that since its not really legal. I remember a few years ago they had to redo an exhaust because they swapped out cats before the car had 50,000 miles. Funny how things change.
(p.s. I have true duals with two cats too).

What bothers me a little about this project is that after finding the rotted radiator support and deteriorated gas tank they didn't take a look at any of the other rust-prone areas. It's stupid to put a high $ drivetrain into a potentially rotted frame.

It seems that in many of these projects the products that get installed just happen to coincide with whatever Jeg's commercials are running at the time.

I noticed the same thing. I have dual Catco high flow cats and they passed inspection. I have a feeling though that the inspector just checked one side and saw that I had one and didn't look any further.

If they are going to use dual cats, why don't they just go ahead and add the side pipes?

Did you catch the cam they installed with the systemax kit? I heard Lunatti but I never heard the grind?
