Mine's just the V10. It has a tune and filter, but that's about it. There's not much left on the table with those unless you want to do forced induction. Then you can go after the diesels.

I try to fly under the radar. My exhaust is very quiet, and I have stock cams. Unless I stand on it, the car is very quiet and tame. But when it goes, it's extremely loud.

On the outside, the car is completely stock other than meaty rear tires, lower suspension, and a carbon fiber Super Snake lip.

Even the GT500 side stripes are very hard to see because of the paint / stripe combination.

Hey! Yeah, I work in the FMS lab right by Axiom. So YOU are to blame for all the horrible parking in the horseshoe! :lol: I remember when I used to get to work at 7 and be able to park right next to the door.

Thanks man, I really think the car is done right. The suspension is set up perfectly, and there's plenty of motor. Maybe over the winter I'll swap out the stock cams, but I'm still running a pretty big pulley. I wish there was an E-85 pump somewhere nearby so I could turn up the wick a little more before opening up a perfectly good motor. I still have a pulley the size of a thread spool I could throw on, but I'd need a kill tune and race gas.
