  1. I don't know what they offer on their other kits, but here is the info on the C6Z kits. http://www.airpowersystems.com/corvette/z06.htm
  2. GT35s... I think they are GT3582r to be exact, but not 100% sure. Not even sure what the differences are. I'm new to this whole turbo thing.
  3. Give me a free dyno pull and I'll bring the Z06 down once it's complete and you can see one in action. jk IPS is in the process of building Mark's Z06 and mine with APS Twin Turbos. As soon as it's done I'll bring it down for you to check it out. I'd love to make it to your dyno day, but doubt it will be ready by then. Have another week for the Motors to come in, then they'll need to install everything, and I mean everything. If it's a moving part, they are replacing it. I'm hoping for 1100+rwhp on full boost, but will cruise around at 750-800 or so and plan on racing at around 1000rwhp at the strip. Time will tell. We took one of the kits out of 4 HUGE boxes to check them out and it is certainly a quality kit. It's a complete kit with all new exhaust, Fuel System, etc.. I really couldn't be happier with the quality of it. Jason
  4. This is good news. I completely support Coleman and think it's an absolute Joke that Al Gore got a Nobel Prize for that stupid Movie.
  5. There is a reason Dominion shares are selling for $0.57 a piece. The problem with sueing is that it's such a pain in the ass. I paid $40,000 to have my bacement finished by Gates Home Improvement and got completely screwed. I'd sue them, but the hastle of doing it, isn't even worth it.
  6. Send Linn a PM, he handles hiring among other things and can tell you about our company and see if it's a good fit. It's a desk job and it's evenings, so should work good with school.
  7. Doesn't hate all american cars, he loved the new Z06 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tztm9dLyY4
  8. when I was younger I would have been all over trying that, but I dunno anymore lol. Like the last time I was on the Gravitron and Zipper, I thought I was going to die. Yet when I was younger, I would ride them constantly. Funny how things change. Hell I can't even read or play on my phone when someone else is driving.
  9. That's what the Viper community calls "Snake Bite" lol. A very high percent of Vipers get totaled within the first week of ownership. A lot of people laugh, but until you drive one and see how much torque they have, how unpredictable they are and how they lose traction, you wont understand. That's why I think it's absolutely crazy that Dodge doesn't have traction control on these cars. I can tell you the first time I ever got on the gas in mine, it went completely sideways and for those that know me, know I've driven cars just as fast or faster for over 10 years, so it's not like I'm a novice.
  10. I had the Viper out for a bit today, would have loved to make it up, but already had something going on at 3
  11. I'd hate to see him make it slower then it was stock.
  12. I've been in and out of IPS a few times over the last few months getting ready for my twin turbo setup and Linn's car always had the motor in it. fwiw
  13. IPS has a certain LS7 motor that puts out 500rwhp in their shop right now that would fit nicely in your RX7. Only has 600 miles on it and comes complete with the dry sump oiling system, so you can road race your car too.
  14. I have a Revo and use to be big into RC Monster trucks for awhile, but... there is no where to race at. Plus when you race inside, all the fumes are horrible Now my revo sits in my bacement, hasn't been moved in 2 years. Looks like yours might be electric, which is a positive if everyeone else is racing electric while your there.
  15. There was a post on here a couple weeks ago where this scientist was talking about global warming and our impact on it. After watching that, I'm convinced that we have nothing to do with it. And while the reefs are diminishing at an alarming rate, it's hard to say or even prove that they haven't gone through this type of event within the last 100,000 years. I also scuba dive and go with divers that have been diving for 50+ years and they can speak personally for seeing the distruction of the reefs. They don't believe in global warming at all and say it's more the polutants that humans put in the water. While water temps have a HUGE impact on reefs, it's not us causing the temerature increase. They also gave plenty of examples of what the hotels in Florida did with their sewage that killed a lot of the reefs. And while we are tearing down the rainforests, which certainly doesn't help with taking C02 out of the air, 99% of all oxygen produced on earth is from the top 1/2" of water. All that being said, the US can 100% go green and it's not going to make much difference unless the rest of the world follows suit. Just like the HUGE decrease in global fish populations. If the US were to stop eating fish completely, the Earth would still run out of fish in the oceans by 2020 or something(Time Magazine article about 1 year ago) I agree that we are having an impact on earth, just not on the weather, and unless as a globe we take steps to fix it, there will be no big changes until it's probably too late. Another good factoid. If China continues to grow at the same rate the United States did after the industrial revolution, 20 years from now they will use more oil in one day then the entire earth currently uses today.
  16. Automotive Appearance Pro's!! I use to go to Mr. Tint for everything and they are a joke!!!! Droped my wifes brand new H2 off to have tinted, picked the car up and their was a HUGE quarter-50cent chip in the middle of the windshield, just behind the mirror. I drove off the lot noticed it there and called them (literally 1 minute later) and they denied knowing about it or that it was there. I know they knew about it becasue when I picked up the Hummer they didnt walk me out to look over the car like they had done with the previous 4 cars I took to them or 3 cars Mark took to them. I figured they knew I knew the drill, but apparently I was wrong. Wasn't even like I was asking them to pay for a new windshield, just the $100 deductable. Regardless they've lost a minimum of $2,000 in business from myself and people I know because they are idiots. They wanted me to bring the truck up to them the next day to look at it, but by the way they acted when I called and how shaddy they were, I just assumed never do business or talk to them again. Back on topic. Mark and myself have had Automotive Apperance Pros tint 7 cars and clear bra 3 cars and their work is top notch. Front Windows for my trucks have been $70 (same as mr. Tint), so assuming the backs are the same and figure $60 for the back, your probably looking at $200.
  17. You only like it because your avatar's head matches the beat. Is a good song though
  18. Just the entire package really. Looks like someone spent some time and wet sanded the car, then those rims are just sharp! I'm not a big fan of color on rims, but that red just makes them pop. Basically it's well done and not over the top.
  19. http://i18.tinypic.com/52p724g.jpg Saw this looking for some pics of the of CCW SP500 rims.. That car is pretty bad ass!

    Ice!

    I just got home about 5 minutes ago and it's a mess. They put salt down on most of the main roads, but the back roads are horrible.
  21. While the LT1 drive shafts may not be aluminum, they can handle a TON of abuse. I blew up one of my aluminum driveshafts as many people have and never had a single issue with my Steel LT1 one. Plus it's a little smaller and easier to fit through those damn driveshaft safety loops. Would be good for someone to just have an extra if they plan on drag racing a lot and they have the stock 10 bolt still. When I broke my aluminum one on the staging line, we pushed the car off the track and I swaped to the steel (Thanks to Larry) and ran an 11.3 pass as soon as it was bolted up. It then lasted the rest of the summer and a TON of 11.19 passes and street abuse.
