Well, you need to read my new found friend. There are a handful of V-8 conversions on here. They don't look any different than the stock one you drive down the street. So just imagine for a second of having over 550 hp in your 3300lb roadster. Does Shelby Cobra come to mind? And I may not be correct in what Jim's car is really producing in HP, but that is a given. As for those of us listing our mods, I believe that in more in tune with letting others know what they can do if they like, to their SRT or N/A car to get more performance out of them. It not like going to Summit, or Jegs, and buying bolt on HP for your Vette or Mustang. Our performance parts have to be developed first by members on here. So parts are rare. We have those who leave them stock, and guys like me who want more performance. Show up at the drag strip, line up against a new Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, you name it today, and we surprise them with 10 yr old technology, with just a few mods. Jim's last track time netted a 10.7 quarter, and Anthony with spray is down into the low 11's with his 6. Pretty impressive numbers for a little ole car wouldn't you say.
