Okay Tripper, that pic was only mildly funny when I posted it. Now it's funny.
My driver gets a new bullet!!!
I had a heart to heart with my Chevelle a while back when it was beggin' for a new BB. Well... I'd been thinkin' about it for a while but now GMPP came out with a new carbed 515HP LS3 & I couldn't resist! My shop will b doin' the install. The bullet is supposed to be there tomorrow or Monday & I plan on suspension, braking upgrades, new mags, bigger tires & dare I say it... A/C! Sorry but it's HOT down here in da tropics!!!
Bought the bullet from Pace Performance... here's a link...
Really bad LS3!!!

Better buy two sets of tires, the first set of rears probably won't last long.

That'll do the trick. You might have to switch to some sticky rear tires with more sidewall to take full advantage of the power. Then you can start breaking driveline parts

Very nice choice. Nice and light and powerful. You'll be doing burnouts in cool AC comfort. I love the Global West Suspension in my 72 Malibu. If you don't have side bolsters on your seats you're gonna need them now.
You know you'll have to post pictures!

Have you got the Global West Front end? I've got one on my Chevelle. Handles extremely well for a near 4000 lb car. Best riding car of the bunch.
That car is going to be Killer!

DMW,
Thanks... & yes, I have Global West tubular a-arms, springs & am adding QA-1 shocks. You're right... it handled *so* much better after the install & it gave me a better turning radius which was welcome!!! Here is the bullet ready for installation. The Vintage Air LS front runner system is basically installed & so are the MSD coil packs!!! Whoa... I can't wait to drive it (can u say... smoky burnout!?!?). Measured for new mags to get the biggest tire I can on da back!!!

Stabbed!!!
Well... the new bullet has been stabbed in for fittin'!!! Lots of mods needed to get 'er in! All kind of new fittings needed, adapters for gauges, different oil pan etc! But it looks really good (IMO)! Can't wait to put the petal to da metal!!!
