This is my 98 vet. Here is my list of mods: Halltech Tric air intake, Granatelli MAF, Halltech Throttle Body, Taylor wires w/ Beru Plugs, 160 degree thermo, Fuel Pressure regulator, Fan controller, TPIS long tube headers, Off road X-pipe (takes place of cats), O2 sims, Borla cat-back, Yank torque conveter 2800, Eradi speed rotors, Green stuff pads, Goodridge stainlees steel brake lines, Hotchkis sway bars, Z06 rims 9.5 front-10.5 rear, Michelin Piolot Sport tires 265/40/18 front-295/40/18 rear, Breathless Performance heat extraction hood, 3.90 gears and a custom tuned computer. Also I have drag radials on ZR-1 rims for those special days. The 190mph was acheived before the gears and computer. It had stock 3.15 and reached the at about 5400rpm. Now it will top out around 180mph at red line. I also have done some dress mods.

As you can see I decided to go with the Z06 style rims. They are 18x9.5 front 10.5 back with pilot sport tred 265/40 and 295/40.

Here's a shot of the Borla cat-back and hotchkis swaybar set.
This is a shot of the Breathless performance hood.
This is a pic of me about to smoke an M5. My times actually aren't that good right now. Before the gear install I was running low 13's. I am how ever running in Germany well above see level and at a slight incline. The people that host the races say you can drop .3 to .5 second. That's what they say at least. Won't find out new times with the gears tuned computer and drag radials till next year.

If you have some time let me know what you think of my project in work!!!!!
