Literally just a simple LT, off-road Y pipe, dumped resonator, ported throttle body, lid car with a really good tune. Will probably add a couple more "trick" bolt-ons like a UD pulley, lighter flexplate, and maybe a better intake setup. Needs a stall like we all need more guns lol! Building it from the back starting with the suspension. Stomped a 450 rwhp 2015 1LE at the track because traction is key. Seen too many poor-running cam-only, HCI, and big stroker cars to go down that road first. And thank you very much. I'm fortunate enough to be the second owner and she was stock when I bought her.  Add a stall and you will love the car even more. I had a 3600 Yank SS and it was perfect. And I completely agree. Back in the day a lot of people thought my 02 Z28 had motor work. Nope. Just bolt ons running high 11s. Wasn't even tuned(only adjusted trans for stall) and on stock suspension and 17x11 heavy ZR1 replicas. I'm over here like "I'm sorry your cammed LS1 isn't faster, nerd :(" |

Once I do that and put it on a 17x7/15x10 drag setup I imagine heads will roll.

Washed the car a bit today, meaning I pressure washed it. Water seems to bead up well from the last time I waxed it so for now it's GTG.
Installed new BFG AT's a few weeks ago, they seem good. I haven't applied any tire shine and it shows but I'll wait until I formally wash the car later on. The new tires definitely fill out the wheel wells better.

I grew up in Utah and there were plenty of old logging trails that were easy to access and reasonably challenging, let alone everything to do down in Southern Utah. We're hopefully moving back West in a year and a half so with any luck I'll have more of that to play around with soon. |

Little something we brought home last month. Automatic 2013 with 34k. No mods. We're to old to need to go any faster that it does in stock trim.
ETA 1/11/17 Last day we'll be able to do this for a while. Last week it was 1 degree. Today damn near 80. Friday we're going to have an ice storm with accumulated ice of up to 3/4" thick.

On December 19th, I traded my 2015 Challenger R/T in on this brand new 2016 Challenger Scat Pack 392.
Only mods I've done to it so far are a Diablo PCM and tune, and a Hellcat airbox and headlight intake.

Thats my CTS-V in the background as well and it can hold its own as well and still be a Cadillac its a lot of fun. |
