Maya has some good taste. That color looks awesome!

She does. I finally was able to get the harmonic balancer and got it installed this weekend. I just have to take it to be smog gee to complete the registration and I can drive it again.

The Cobra passed easily so it is all done. It's so nice being able to drive it again.

Know the feeling. It sucked when the Vette was down for a while, before the rebuild. Now it just starts and runs (mostly) like a regular car! :judge:

The Cobra runs great! No more burning oil smell and it has a ton of power. I think with this cam it has as much power on the pump gas tune as it did with the race gas tune before.

Wow. That's amazing and passing (ever tighter) smog! Sometimes I think to supercharge the vette. But 400WHP~ and 3,100lbs is enough for the street really.

But it's fun when it breaks the tires loose in third gear passing someone at 60mph. You should do it!

I know Steve was shocked how much power that cam made in mine, sometimes I wonder how much more power it could make if I had Joey grind in a little more lift but that's a happy valve train setup that doesn't trash the springs and lifters. I was most pleased how much vacuum in made, really made a difference in how it drove.

Sounds fun! I'd have to get real tires and almost certainly update the diff. I just have the stock aluminum Dana 44, which has held up to some abuse, but much more power with real tires and it probably gonna go boom.

Probably. I've already cracked one stock carrier in the Cobra. Luckily GTR had one laying around that they sold me cheap so I was able to fix it the day after I broke it.
