Hah, Hi Jeff, yeh Dennis and I still white knuckle racing.
Dennis sold boat, and has a 800HP CTS-V, which he is going to be selling soon.

Dennis and I just ordered Identical Crystal White CTS-V 2016. Hope to pick them up together. CRAZY.

Still have the C4, it runs really good, especially out on the highway from 80 to 170, is awesome power with the turbos.

I may be selling it soon, and looking to do something different, spread the word, its clean and done right for the right buyer.
Good to see you on here Jeff, holy cow, more gray hair than ever for me.

runs well, Saturday it went 10.0 @138 with 8psi on the boost controller.
No problem Tech NHRA up to 150mph. At 150, needs a chute, dont have that.

Its a street car, roll bar is settup so the roof goes in the back still. Full interior

I was more was more wondering on tire diameter. My rear is already a ticking timebomb and will get a 12bolt when it goes.

Would 28.5 or 29in tires fit? Or 28 all you need to mph where you want?
