Yea, that's a Daily Driver.


Hey, look what I run--it's dependable as Hell.


I've been thinking ( oh shit ) that I might build the 377 as a supercharged (your way) Dual Quad.

Any advice?
Go cometic, lower comp, more boost, sticky tires.

I can see that. I prefer to drive around my gas sipping Neon and have a fun loud not practical gas sucker that I can take out on the weekends.

Flipping the gas bill for a thirsty monster motor on a daily basis sucks the fun out of it for me. And frankly, 400hp won't cut it anymore. I am now and forever spoiled. Now that I have a DD with AC I can go a little more crazy with my next project.

And the point of posting that Camaro wasn't so much for the blown BBC, but more the style of the car. The stance, the color, the wheels. My Camaro would definitely have a hood.

That'd be a good looking car. What color you hoping for, Sea Foam?

Well, that's might . . . uh, creative of you.

To be honest, someday I'd like to due gloss black C2 with red hour glass Black Widow theme.

Hey, you can paint mine and that way we both get what we want.

I think AFR is wrong. I am using Fel-Pro's MLS black gaskets. They have held 16 lbs. boost for a while now. Pay attention to the head and block surface finish. It gets critical with boost.

Do you remember the part number of your MLS? I might just run the same one if it will work.

Is there anything that I should do special to prep the surface? I normally just go over it with a metal paint scraper and then use a scotch brite pad until it's clean enough to eat off of. And do you use the copper spray??
