Your worst nightmare...
I never got to see your car run, but I did hear your car and I was able to witness just hot frickin' baller it was. That thing was a true beauty. Just wondering, did you part it out when you sold it or you sold it with all the mods? Hope you made some money back bro...this way you can pump $$$ into your next project

I'm spending more than some would, but I'm taking a different approach to adding my mods. I don’t compare numbers like "hp per mod" or "pricing per mod". I want 2 Specific Modifications in general. The First is VRP Stage 3 Heads and the Second is Adding some Serious Boost to them. Other mods like the 5.7L Bottom, VRP Bullet Tranny, 80mm throttle body, long tube headers, etc., they all are a must have in order for my Specific Mods to reach their full potential while keeping engine durability and longevity.

Of course my car is a liability and not an investment, but saying that our mods are “money wasted” is incorrect also. 
The point in engine modification is to gain more power, which we all have. To waist money would be like purchasing a mod and loosing power. Now that's money wasted!
