I just want to say again thanks, to you the members of this, site normally this time of year a lot of shops are slow or sporadic, I have friends that work at several dealerships and they are up and down, we are far from that.

I have Billy's Marauder here, that now has about 1000 miles on his Cobra crate motor, we installed a drive shaft loop this week, next week we are going to change the 3.3 pulley to a 2.8 and re'tune the car and then take it to Gainesville with some M/T ET Streets, we are also installing a 4" power pipe next wee.
I have another 03 here that we have started on getting the exact same set up as Billy, a 04 Cobra Crate motor new fuel system new transmission, and one of our new Novi 1200 kits. Lots of pictures to come.

I have sold six of these in the last 30 days we have four cars here now waiting on this kit, two are in the garage, and Steve and Edwin are busting buns to get them done next week. We are doing a 03 Blue and a 04 Black, the Blue car had bad axles, so we ordered a new 31 spline carrier and axles along with 4:10 gears. For those that have never seen a bad axle here is what they look like this normally on 03A's.

Along with all this we are finishing up the new floors through out the shop. We have to move all the equipment from the non painted side to the side we did last weekend.

And in two weeks we are starting another Novi kit on a 5.0 stroker Marauder with six speed that will be a fun project. We now have a company in California doing all of our pipes this really speeds up are kits. Again thanks every one for the support and the continuing sales, I am never to busy to take calls and I am here to help. And we are looking froward the seeing a lot of you on the 24th at the picnic.
Pics of the 5.4 stroker, or did you mean 5.0?

Hers is Steves 03 Blue it has 65000 on the clock, he got our new Novi 1200, kit along with this, he got a set of 4:10 gears new 31 spline rearend. He also added the Meziere electric water pump, Auto meter Oil and Fuel Pressure and Boost Guages, with the new added power his rear tires were close to may pops, so we have added a new set of Hancook Ventus ST 295-45-18. Steve is now started on a 04 Black.

We did take off a JLT CAK and Steve has a Black SCT that will work on any 03 with 355 gears he wants to sell.

Aside from the Blower, Im not liking the other mods to that poor Blue :bigcry:
Did you guys do away with the coolant pipe on the passenger side?
What kind of power did it make?
Stock exhaust?

BECAUSE HE CAN!

BECAUSE HE CAN!
It was actually an intelligent question due to the notion the they likely cancel each other at certain frequencies....
Further, with that custom amp rack, why off-the-shelf boxes?
sailsmen

Hence my answer, because he can!
He may have had an extra one or already had one installed and became attached to it.:confused:

The car on 93 octane and only 8.5 PSI made 380.15 RWT and 427.06 RWHP, with a AF of 11.74, the 04 that is here has kooks and Granateli Coils, I feel it will make more, I also feel this kit would be safe witha 3.48 pulley instead of the standard 3.6

Slick work, as usual, Dennis. Makes me want to spend some more money!
Looking forward to seeing what difference the Granateli Coils make. I've heard differing results.

HEY NOW!!!! Magindat! it is BECAUSE I CAN (Thanks sailsmen) the subs are what i had lying around. the rack i did myself! and im pretty dame proud of it!!! i no longet can find a Fosgate HE2 10" sub or i would have had that in there. with the 12. sub boxes are a little harder for me to build.
Since then i blew up the 10" the 12 is fine but i decided (good deal) for 100.00 to go with 2 JL W2's. i wish they were fosgate (my preference). but im looking at power mods not necessarly the BOOM in the trunk mods. i will continue that journey later.
if you have any other comments pm me id love to hear them.
thanks again Dennis your work (on the go fast mods) is top notch!

Wicked looking engine bay! Its obvious you go that extra mile for your customers...
I'm a buyer for that used blue CAI and the SCT. I have a 300A that probably won't go with the 4.10 for awhile and the S/C is also seemingly not an option with the CARB laws here.
Is there a code on the door jam I need to check or will it reflash regardless of the code? Please have Steve contact me here or I will pm my cell # if thats better.
