Default Got the vert back today

Got my car back today from ProStreet MotorSports (PHIL87SVT) after replacing the heads with PRC 2.5's and adding a FAST 90 LSX, LS2 TB, catch can, adjustable master and a few orther things. Phil ported the FAST and TB while he had it. Topped it off with a fresh speed density tune.

The car is insanely fast. First gear is useless and second not much better. I was thinking gears next but now I don't know. It runs so smooth that you forget what's under the hood unless you feel like remembering. Hell, my wife could drive this car..Did I just say that?

Go fast stuff:

230-236 .595/.610 112 lsa Comp XE-R cam
PRC 2.5 R Heads 62cc
FAST LSX/LS2 TB (ported)

Plus all the bolt on stuff.

Thanks for taking care of me Phil - Your the man!!!

Cool man. I live in Northern Virginia too - perhaps I'll hear you screaming past my relatively "stock" Vette one day.

BTW, Phil believes that car is somewhere north of 460 RWHP and maybe 470 based on lb/min of air going through the engine and his experience.

about time you got that bucket of bolts back on the road. I think I can take you even with my baby cam. NOT !

I hate driving it with the top up in the winter, but its sure is faster because of the cold air.


you have crazy HP now
