Summary
Basically this is the culmination of five years and $25k+ of modifications. Everything was installed and tuned by me personally. I did most of the porting work, the interior paint and upholstery, and exterior body work. The only things I didn't do where exterior painting and alignments etc (stuff I don't have equipment for in a home garage). Stock the car had 142whp and did a 15.9 sec quarter mile at 88 mph. Almost three years ago it had 235 whp and 236 ft/lbs, and did the quarter in 14.4 @94 mph, while on a burned out tranny and maxed out injectors. After several accidents, subsequent rebuilds, and endless waiting for custom or back ordered parts, I finally have everything I need to properly tune the car for serious power. Car is currently running 13.9 @ 97mph and I'm expecting around 300whp and low 13sec quarter miles after tuning is finished. It's been a long expensive road but I'm happy with the results. I have a totally unique car that handles, stops, and goes at least as fast as a stock C5 'vette. More updates to come after final results.

the car is absolutely beautiful. i'm looking into adding a supercharger and was wondering would the m90 be too hard to bolt to the manifold or would you recommend the m62?

hey man, i was told from mark over at unitedmalibus.com to come talk to you about your supercharger. I am trying to do that set up with my 3.1L malibu. Basically im trying to get as much info as possible. did you buy the kit somewhere or did you just piece it together? could you tell me where you got the parts from? I havent updated my cardomain, but i got the ported manifolds and 65mm TB. I have a new cam shaft, just need the comp springs before i install it. I am getting the necessary engine mods, but need to know about the supercharger. And i hear your the one to talk to. Can i get any info from you? Thanks!
