Default LAPD has impounded my vette!!!

Los Angeles Performance Division that is! My head and cam project is finally underway. Shawn and Al gave me a great deal so I'm adding a set of Trickflow's 215 heads(to be milled), a 228/230 112cam, Caddie racing lifters, SVO 30# injectors, Yella Terra lightweight rockers, ASP underdrive pulley, LS2 timing chain, SLP ported oil pump, and a Shaner ported throttle body! Followed by of course a top notch tune by DOUG! This should definitely wake my baby up a little . This is all being added to my Dynatech longtubes with high flow cats, Blackwing with cold air box, run throug a set of GHL bullets. This thing is going to ROAR! Thanks to the crew @ LAPD! I can't wait to feel the final results!

I'm not going for numbers although I expect them to be pretty darn good. I was looking for power all throughout the powerband, not just up peak numbers up top. Some of the bigger numbers cars have nothing below 3500rpms. If I had the extra cash, I would of added a ported Fast 90 and Nick Williams throttle body which probably would of given me another 20-25(up top) on top of what it's going to be. That'll have to be a project for another time.

Okay!

Just one of these days we are going to cross paths!

At least now I can check your Vette out and you don't even have to be there!

I'll keep my eye on it and probably be there for the Dyno #'s

You'll love it!

Thanks,Matt

Thanks Richard! I finally figured out everything I wanted(for now). I can't wait to see what it feels like once LAPD and Doug get done with it. See you soon.

Your new setup is very close to mine. I predict many s*it-eating grins in your future, (and probably a new clutch).

That's what I did but in reverse order. I did everything to the bike, then I needed something else to do. I bought the vette, now I'm working on that. I seem to have put the bike in the background for now. I might even sell it at the end of the year to purchase another car(daily driver). See ya soon!
