The Sleeper!!!
I got a chance to snap a few new shots of my car. I just installed some pillar guages and did a bunch of other little cosmetic things. Any opinions welcome. ALSO** I plan on buying some black GTA crosslace wheels. How do you think they will look?? I'm lowering the car a good bit and doing a bunch of susp. work on it now.

First off thanks for all the compliments.
Nope. Sorry. Mine is the stock Firebird SE hood it came with. I plan on buying a 4" cowl soon though.
Read the sig. I have alot more plans coming up though.
I have transmission temp and Vac/boost. The boost guage i got for $5. Its perfect for tuning the carb, setting timing, and just watching what the car is doing.
Well since I've done alot of modding I'm not sure. Before I worked the heads and added the new valve train, added the aluminum rad, tranny cooler, wires, fuel line, and alot of tuning I ran a 9.1 at 77mph in the 1/8 with a 2.1 60ft( roughly a low 14/high 13). This was on June 5 (very hot out), and I had a bad intake leak and exhaust leak. I know the car is MUCH faster now but I don't want to say until I'm sure. I've been modding the suspension more than anything lately. I plan on making the car a G machine rather than a drag car.
So far i plan on buying a 4" cowl, getting some GTA rims, and lowering the car a good bit. But I have to get a new exhaust before the slam.
Aren't you the one with the fiberglass firebird hood with the TA vents? I've got some questions if you are.
What is under the hood? You say sleeper......
Looking good! I really like that color. What gauges do you have in the dual pod?
Nice place for the shift light. What does the car run?

I wanna see some pics of the 265 meats you've got on the rear. Do they tuck into the wheel well nicely? Any probs?
Later,

um....i think the point of a sleeper is that know one knows that you have a fast car....in other words the big white lettering kind of gives that away....

Its a full dual exhuast from the headers back. The pipes run the stock location then split off and end before the differential. I have no clearance problems as the car sits. Right now though, I'm planning out a new custom system so I can lower the car.

It doesn't go for anything because its custom. The shop that did it only charged $300 and for the H-pipe was another $50.

Hate to rain on your parade because your car looks nice, but I don't think you and your "team" understand the whole concept of a "sleeper". A sleeper is a car that looks stock. Stock implies not lowered, no monster tach, no shift light, no gauges on the A-pillar, etc, etc. Like I said, nice car, but no sleeper. Might want to clue your "team" in too.
