Sounds like everything is going well then? Stocker P-71's push 235-250HP what might you have under the hood? Gotta be something special for extra 60+HP I'm curious to see more pictures of it.

i got a few things on it right now underdrive pulleys. exhaust. ADTR Ported Upper Intake. Twin 65mm High-Flow Replacement Throttle body. nothing much
the last steps are the full supper chager kit costom trans and Billet aluminum upper and lower control arms and a whole new Posi Limited Slip Differential for Rear Axle and last is a Stroker kit to make it a 5.0
if done right i should be pushing close to 6-700hp. but that is not for a long time i need 15k 1st un till i see that cash im sticking with what i have.

just added fog lights today

i will not do any more adds for the motor im pushing my cars Drivetrain it is maxed out with the power. it my be a 01 but it had 7 years of POLICE use before i got it and this one is from LA so just thing of what it saw and hit.
also i killed my rear end shatterd the gears had to rebuild it in auto shop.
