Looks nice...and CLEAN!

That is a car you don't need to worry AS MUCH as the G/S for driveline breakage. You went through hell with that thing.

Hopefully this car will treat you better. One thing's for sure, it'll be faster for less $. Helps when you start with more power.

Good luck with it.

Thanks guys. We did like the 03 but I don't know what was wore out liking first, the payment or color. The cam Chris sent should make around 430rwhp, I want to keep this one more a cruiser less a racecar like the GS, but also as a backup and maybe a few runs like the Lightning.

Nice!
After the mods, that may NOT be the "back-up" car anymore.
