Default Supercharged LS3 C5 Project Almost Done

Hey there everyone. Havent posted much here in a while after my son was born, been pretty busy with daddy duties. Finally though Im getting close to finishing, for the moment, my supercharged C5 project, just waiting on my roll cage. Its a 2002 coupe with a forged LS3 and a V2si kit from A&A. It has a 3.4 pulley and Im seeing about 10psi. I run E85 and Im making around 700rwhp. Its a fun car for sure. Its set up for the road course though I do drag race for fun sometimes and its gone low 10s @ 135mph. Im sure with dedicated slicks and suspension I could flirt with a 9sec pass. Not long ago I updated to the Turbosmart Big Bubba 52mm bov and today I installed the trumpet on it. The car sounds like a street sweeper with a jet engine now lol. Anyway just sharing.

You've got a great looking, and obviously a great running, car. Just curious what rear fascia you have on the car?

Thanks. That's the Rk5 rear fascia from RK Sport. I got it used and gave it a shot. I hadn't really seen it on a car before. Thought it worked good with the rest of the body mods.
