    Looks awesome. Wishing I had your chrome bonnet strip, and engine for that matter. haha. And thank you for buying superlows! I've been looking for pics of a black VY berlina/calais sitting on supers for a while now because I'm thinking of going that height myself. Post up some pics when installed yeah?

    Hey dude unless your planning on throwing a cam in it an 80mmtb is fine & goes well with a growler kit or otr, otherwise on a stock engine I find too big is overkill. Roller rockers are also a good cheap mod for the ls1! I cant wait to get mine in a week or so Nice car I love black vys.

    OTR is next on the list and my mate is selling a 222/228 Lunati cam which im considering. Rockers are a good idea!
