Gone are the GT wheels and the smallish factory brakes, as they have been replaced with 17" Cobra rims and a brand-new Wilwood big-brake kit. Although it has the turning radius of a small SUV, this car now has all new adjustable suspension components, including sway bars, control arms, and big beefy tires. The stock 245's in the rear have been swapped for much more sticky 275's, and the front tires went up a couple sizes as well.
Anything and everything that can be done to make this car go faster has been done, short of a full blown turbo or supercharger kit. He did a head swap, intake upgrade, full X-pipe exhaust, the works! Most of the work he did himself, including the camshaft upgrades, with the assistance of some mechanic buddies. For some of the more technical stuff, such as tuning the motor, he enlisted the help of Goodies Speed Shop (http://goodies-speedshop.com/) in San Jose, CA. There he got an MSD ignition system installed, a short throw shift-kit, and shorter rear end gears down to 3:73 ratio. His new Spin-tech Mufflers give it a deep, throaty rumble that can be heard a block away.
HE MADE IT TO THE INTERNET!:D
