500-550 hp weak sauce. lol just kidding.

i want more pics meow. kthxbye!

im not trying to spend like 5 or 6000$ on a motor... plus if i go anything much over 500 550hp then i will have to start looking into a built up trans which will runn me another 1000$ then driveshaft and then i would definitly need a 12 bolt rear end....

500 to 550hp will keep me in the range of keeping my 700r trans (just toss a few buck into a shift kit) and my 8.5" 10 bolt posi i got (putting 4.56 gears in it)

even at that 500hp i mite run in to problems with the 700r we shall see i guess lol


ima def give u a call bro and meet up so u can work some magic on my tahoe


ya let me know man

ya definitely gonna need ATLEAST 450hp on the low end to have it move and play like i want it to

my monte carlo has roughly 450/475hp and i was contimplating pulling that 402 out and using it in my caprice but id rather not do two motor swaps


see not everything i own is a donk on big rims!!!

fast forward to the 2 minute mark in the video!!

Now that Monte is right up my alley!!! Nice lookin' car :drool: Looks like it might be able to get up and move a bit too :naughty:

ya its got some balls.. definitely needs a bigger cam and some porting done to the heads but besides that it i cant complain..

that build will be later if i keep it... was thinking some candy paint.. new interior and maybe some 20" staggered rims with like some 10 or 12" wide back rims and either asanti or forgiato wheels because im definitly not lifting it or going to do any type of stupid suspension work to put rims on that one

heres what i was going to go crazy with this summer but it needed way too much body work and needed repaint.... i had the brown one sitting in the driveway literally MINT and decided id rather fix up a clean ass car with minimal body work and no rust what so ever than going over a car thats been done already

also im lowering my rear end to sit how my red one did on the 30s.. but the front will be a bit higher than the red one... the car will sit level instead of crooked lol

I know it's been like 4 months since this was updated, but I still have to throw this out there:

I've seen some rides like this in ATL, but we're evidently in the minor leagues. I've never seen anything on 30s. Crazy.
