Nah, there are actually quite a few ppl there that know what they are talking about....and it's not like it's hard to weed them from the idiots.

generally I like the car alot other then the box in the trunk & stupid jet pcu thing...the cars basically a pre-pared toy already 80% done that is hehe...I'll get it on a dyno, tune it a bit with hptuners...if he already doesnt have a pulley and or housing I'll get that, maybe a header, we'll see hehe.

I would have sold you my SS454 pickup if you wanted another Chevy. Or I have a 68 Camaro with an LT1 in it I might end up selling(need money for the 69 Z28) . I also have a Boston Whaler Rage jet boat I might be selling but I'm not sure you can get to work in that!

thx for the offers, but there were only a few cars i was interested in getting and even though the lt1 car might have gotten my attention in the end its not something i wouldve wanted...this car will serve the purpose well i think in the end.
