Youre doing great!  What radiator is that?  I looked back thru the thread but don't see a brand/size.

So I’ve been driving the car for a while now and worked out all the kinks and whatnot..  car runs great tuned by me with hptuners.  I even got around to installing my ac back on the car and yes I’ll get pics of that up.  Interesting story a buddy of mine has a CTS-V all tricked out around 640whp and has been telling me for a while how he is going race me and make me look stupid!  Well today the race finally happened and I got him by a quarter car length from a 20-120mph roll, his idea not mine.  Well needless to say I’m pretty happy with a small cam Ls1 putting the hurt on a $60k plus car and all he could say was wow!!  Great little cars to build!!

Yep, it's all about power/weight.
The best part is that less weight improves ALL aspects of a car's performance, not just acceleration.   :yay:
