James: Thanks man!!! HP is only 265 to the wheel @9lbs, no boost controller yet. But its a really smooth power band tuned by Steve. Combination of 5spd and Auto Pumpkin's Gear Ratio with LSD works really great both local and freeway. Raced an E46 M3 last night on 405 as I was driving home from Kennedy's. Did not down shift and was pulling away till we hit about 130mph... Its not bad.

Tony: I know, finally! All you guys with clean SCs really give me inspirations. Thanks!! LS430 will be my next project.

lexforlife:
Thanks!! I think Stinger EMS is really good for the money, It has a lot of features for a good tune. I like the fact that I can tune via my laptop and not have to go to a "Authorized" place: like Power FC, FCON and AEM EMS. It is a lot more convenient

VeilSideGS3:
Steve is doing good, I was checking out the other thread and saw the build on your SC. I remember the last time I saw your ride was at Steve's BBQ. Your car is also looking sexy. Love your quote: "You gotta pay to play" hahahaha

As to the questions of how I shot these pics using a Sony DSC-P200. I guess angle, lighting and a little adjustment on contrast really makes a difference.

Eric from Import Tuner was actually shooting Kennedy's cars and he shot mine and Javier's GS while he was at it. His work is amazing!!! I snapped a photo of him while he was doing his magic. So a lot more pictures to come in couple of days. And to satisfy Wayne @ the same time....

Yea, it was a dilemma when choosing the right body styling. I feel some of the front body kits were a bit dramatic for the SC chassis. I really wanted to go with full Vertex lip kit in the beginning, but it was difficult dealing with Speed Alliance so I went with Big-Win instead. I am glad I made that choice.


I appreciate all the comments guys!!
