first ride in the car after whipple

I sent the car back to Livernois to do a whipple, trans cooler, driveshaftshop shaft, and the rest of what was needed to complete the transformation. I made 623Hp and 522tq.

I got the car back this morning. Let me just say, HOLY FREAKING CRAP. I'm half torn between "I'm going to die" and "this is awesome".

I have no traction at any speed though. I'm sure some of that has to do with the upper 30 degree temperature here and the stock Pzeros. Guess it's time to start shopping for tires. Suggestions?

Thanks to Andy and the entire crew for coming through on an awesome build and working around my crazy schedule to pick up and drop off the car. Stellar work, I'm very pleased.

You'll have much better traction in warmer weather, but the stock tires really are no match for that kind of power.
The first time you punch it is a real eye opener for sure.

Did you do anything to the suspension yet? You have to tame all that power with some good suspension components ... control arms, new tires, etc.?

Let me know if I can help provide you with some suspension support?

Best Regards,

That's probably the truth. I thought I was done after the headers, cam, and ls3 conversion. I was at 444 then and thought, "Why would I ever need more?"

Thanks! I think I've got every BMR suspension part installed minus diff bushings so I think I'm good there.
