Nice ride, love the rims! Are those the aluminum 17s?

They are the Year one 17's with a 4.5 inch back space and 245/45  17 Hankook's.  They are a super nice riding tire and smoke beautifully.  I had to "polish" up the inner skirt handle just in case to get a little more clearance and I installed a Alston Chassis rear sway bar to keep the "yaw" from rubbing the tires.   Very nice sway bar looks factory but meaty.  

I am going to try and get a video of it, it actually has wicked acceleration even with the 2.73's.

 I really appreciate your comment,  this site has been a incredible help and the people are all extraordinary with there help and support.

It's got little ding's/scratch's etc and is good from far but far from good in the paint department.  However, I enjoy the fact that I can roll up in a parking lot leave the window's down and not worry about it so much.

I really enjoy that it can cruise and run quiet and it can also really pound.  It really has that Jekyll an Hyde quality that I like in a car.

2.73s? That's crazy! Have 2.73s in my 12 bolt. Could smoke the 3.08s like crazy, but not the 2.73s. :)

The hydraulic roller magnum cam and bigger valves etc. really give it good low end torque.  I also had the original torque converter modified for a 2500 stall.   I kind of wish I would have stroked it to a little larger displacement, no substitute for cubic inches:}

Nice, i'm running a 1900 stall convertor in front of a TH350 with a stage II shift kit. Still, it's a small block. lol
The engine is setup to run with slightly lower gearing. ; ) At some point, I'll change out the rear end or maybe I should drop in a BB and just enjoy the lower hi-way RPMs.

I think the best thing for big or small block is the addition of a 4l70 trans  super low first gear and highway cruising top gear.  Best of both worlds

Thank you for the compliment.  Went in to get it aligned this week and they couldn't get the rear alignment fixtures on the back because the size of the rims and the angle of the rear fender well.  Going back next week because they apparently have a way to do it without the back one's on.   So I haven't been able to do any "warp factor 3" :)  testing yet.  I think it will have a pretty good top end and with the z rated tire's it should be somewhat safe.
