Winter service completed...
Had a small oil leak from the oil pan gasket. Only way to do it right was to pull the motor. Checked over valve train and replaced some other gaskets while it was out. LS3 block with forged internals. 1000 horse power built and tuned myself.      |

Wouldn't put too many more hp on the build but the sound of those three Rochester 2GC at WOT is so much more than anything you could have imagined. Trust me. I had TP on my 67 GTO. I loved the sound of those carbs at WOT and it won't hurt your overall build. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see how this one progresses! |

Washed my car for the first time in 6 months. Also replaced the shitty runflats with Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R's.
Nice to see the color pop again, which is why I fell in love with this thing when I saw it among a sea of silver and black cars at the dealer. Planning on doing a detail next month, claybar and paint correction. 2017 Q50 Red Sport 400
