Wow, that is one fast V. Sub for #'s with the new cam and other goodies. Are those forged internals?? I didn't think the LSA was forged, so that sucker might be on borrowed time, haha. Doesn't seem like you will have any issue upgrading if she pops tho. Awesome car.

I love the v's but the one for me is the cts-v wagon. Looked at my nearest dealership and only had 1 black wagon and it was sold. 6 speed needs to be special order. Good luck with it looks so sexy

Yea I wanna know what union job is getting you seriously paid :)

building engineer local 39 here in san francisco. m-f 8-430 benefits are great and good retirement plan.

I dont know how these people make a living on forums selling car parts. There is no way i could survive selling 3-4 kits a month.

Until about a month ago I'd just assumed you had your own shop where you sold and installed these parts full-time.

Those wheels look siiick! Your pose and face is priceless. (no offense) Reminds me of those 80's poses on one knee by the side of your car. Seriously tho, those wheels are awesome. Great job on the black chrome.
