As far as the 20,000 dollar mods, I can only say: boring out a cylinder in a 1967 350 or a 04 3.2 should not be to far different in price. Pistons, JE or Ross will make anything you want, I am sure they use stock connecting rods. Porting and polishing of the heads and Manifold could be done at Extrude Hone for about 500-800 bucks to what every dimension you want, that is if you do not want to do it yourself. A hand made supercharger, now I have a picture of a sweat shop in south america some place with a bunch of 8 year olds using chainsaw sharping files to carve out a soild piece of aluminum in to a connect the dot drawling. :?
Jesse James even bought a CNC machine to make his life easer. :shock:

Sad to say but for what they offer, changing a viper into a Venom or a vette into a callaway version are all on the same scale as far as % of increases to dollar ratio. :!:

I would suggest to anyone considering the package to go buy a viper SRT-10 and save the trouble of wraping yourself a around a tree in a car that would have 400 + Hp and only weighing 3000 pounds! :idea:

I would like to see a higher flowing air intake system, low dust brakes(cleaning those big #$% wheels is a pain), a true dual exhaust system or 3" will do.
I bought the car for the look and the limited availablity, so I love the look but they should just do away with the side vent decorations, leave the shape and leave the plastic for the Sicon's(however they spell it), it works for the viper and vette. If crane or bullfrog make a set of cams for it,i would probabaly end up tossing a set in if they were targeted towards gettign some more low end out of the engine. :D
