this v6 is great... but unless we get some vender support then im just done. Ill get Matt to tune it, hopefully itll only need one tune and be good then maybe lower it, get new headlights, and then bye bye mods. luckily everything i get, i can sell


Although im debating nitrous just to make people look bad at the track when they lose to a v6
I've give up on running serious times. I may spray it later down the road but right now I'm just finishing my last bolt on, installing suspension to make it fun to drive and doing cosmetics to make it look good. Then depending on what that 6th gen looks like will be my decision.

This is true.. You arent done yet though.. You could get Cams, and more internal engine work.. is it worth it?? well.. i dont think so.. if you plans are to buy a V8 eventually, I would suggest paying this one off and then start saving.. the whole idea is to make this car fun to drive.. As for more mods, you have plenty to do if you wanted.. maybe more cosmetic stuff.. idk.. suspension?? too many to go in detail.. but I am with you.. I am done with my car payments at the end of this year.. and I will save up to buy a Vette soon... Deployment money will come handy

yeah, if friends want to go then id join along... or if there is a great day where it is cooler, then id love to see my times but other than that im done. Seeing the SS's and v8s capabilities makes me want one too bad. I would someday maybe put a turbo or SC in this car since im never getting rid of it, being my first car ever and being so sentimental because of how i got it. Imma stick to having this be my DD while i go through medical school. then the paychecks come, then the v8

Agreed... See.. anyways, So.. I am guessing I the H pipe was more restricted than what my current setup is now??? I mean, we are talking the car feels quicker.. it was hot today too and it was going good.. got some videos coming this way.. see what you think of the sound..

I am kinda disappointed cuz its kinda not loud.. I guess the prior setup spoiled me cuz it was hella loud... but i think it was too loud.. idk.. sometimes i thought it sounded bad... now it sounds very refined and tuned..

I was going to do that but I got a great interest rate to the point where I'd be dumb to pay it all off. Why not use their money instead of mine

Thank you... I think so too.. its very quite when cruising... at least inside the cabin.. the only complain is that it sounds very deep inside the cabin.. its like the x pipe is making my car a sound chamber.. but its not bad... its weird to explain... lol.. idk yet.. well see.. i might have the muffler shop create me a axleback muffler delete to try it on and see how it sounds.. I can always sell either that or the cherry bomb axleback..
