Geez...same here.

Why no FAST intake? With a big cube LSx, you'd make more power with an upgraded intake.

Actually no.

Because so many of the modified tuner cars of the past, such as of the '02s, really were not "drivers" I stressed drivibility to my engine builder. Because he went conservative with the cam and heads, the FAST intake made less HP on the dyno. I wanted something my wife, who is not a car person, could drive and enjoy. The car, with the upgrades, idles at 650 RPM, nice smooth musclecar sound, has a ton of torque (560), and is not a PITA in traffic.

We did not know what to expect sound wise, as we had not heard the car with the 427. At MCACNs I started it several times to move it, and not only did the wife and I like the sound, but several others commented on the quite rumble. IMO, sort of sounds like our '69, nothing harsh, but you know there is something extra under the hood.

The Nickey crew did a great job building the car of my dreams, not only peformance wise, but the little things. As far as I know, my car was the first 2010 with a silver grille (Blue bowtie), and the engine Chevy orange. Both were well received, and I think at least the Silver grille will be showing up on a lot of cars before long.
