The car has problems. The major problem is that the tranny needs fixed, and I don't have the time to fix it. An extra tranny comes with it, so in an afternoon it will drive again. The Vortech S-Trim comes with the car as well, even though it is not installed on the car. Pics later.

List of mods:

SCT Chip (needs retuned, It can be taken care of)
UD Pullies
ProM Mass air flow sensor
42 lb./ Injectors
Bassani mid length headers (modified to fit) with 2.5" dual exhaust
3200 stall PI convertor (stallion)
4.10 gears with auburn Posi
Ported intake
Dynotech Metal Matrix driveshaft

Engine rebuild by Hensler Racing
Bored .020 over
Forged 4130 ultralite rods (Probe)
Forged Diamond Racing pistons
ARP head/main studs
Billet oil pump gears
Ported and polished heads (Fox Lake)
Crower springs and Titanium retainers
SHM blower cams

Suspension mods:
Flaming River U-Joint steering knuckle
AJE Tubular K member
Tubular lower control arms
1 3/8 sway bar front/rear
Rear Cobra R shocks

$7500 and you come and get it. The engine rebuild and convertor alone have cost me that much in the last year.

Maybe later. For now I need to make some changes, and someone else will benefit. The engine alone is worth the price.

I have personally driven this car after it was finshed. I have labored on this car for many hours.

This car as it sits with a tranny that works is a 12 second n/a car. With the engine configuration it pulls from 5000-7500 exceptionally well. The power never dies off even with a mark VIII intake.

Install the S trim and it is an easy mid 11 second car w/o fuel line/pump upgrades. No doubt in my mind it will make 480+ rwhp with the s trim and pump gas. WIll easily make 320 rwhp n/a with the mark VIII intake.

Great car.

Nevermind my post. Didn't see the original post. Sowwie. By the way, very nice and good luck with selling it.
