Yeah! The "Fridge" lol, it's funny my brother and his wife got a new fridge(black) the same day I got my 'Vette. When my brother asked my 6yr old niece "guess what uncle Dave bought, its black too" to which she replied "Did he get a fridge too!!??" the name kind of stuck.

Well I'm porting the intake, adding some new heads, headers and dual exhaust, and still debating whether I'm gonna slap a roller cam in there or not.

I think they are a chrome ZR-1 replica, they were on the car when I bought it.

Yeah this is a bone stock baseline run on the dyno. Now I can do my mods and be able to say with certainty that "I made xxx hp with my mods" once I do my "after" dyno next spring.

175 to the ground, isn't so bad. Mods always work best if not starting with problems for sure.

Yikes, my friend just put down 100 more than that to the wheels last week in his daily driven Civic. He even made 2 more ftlbs of torque...lol. Better start modding...hahaha. Just messin with you though, well the Civic thing is true, but not trying to be mean just messin around. Better get some mods on that thing...that's weak.

Here's his vid

I just watched your video, I will be following your build and with you 100%, no negative comments from me. I think that is what a crossfire is suppose to run on a dyno. Looking forward to your next post and any updates. Please post any pictures of your progress. This will be one of the only documented builds with real numbers, no BSing here.

Are you going to do and 0-60 or 1/4 mile times also?

Don't be afraid to put a few half naked ladies in your picutres and upcoming videos.

Don't feed the troll bro. No point in arguing with him. I once heard that you cannot win an arguement with an ignorant person.

And I bet that Trans Am is a turd. I bet my budy's v6 firebird would beat it.
