wow never seen a 3800sc swap so fast in the quarter mile. I was always kinda scared of the 3800 swap being difficult and requiring a lot of custom parts guess I was wrong feel better now about the swap. BTW i think your car is so fast your passenger had a bowel movement.

Yeah but my car makes a cool whining noise. I bet yours doesn't whine as good as mine. lol.
Looking at the numbers in your sig, it doesn't look like you gained as much power as I did.

I charge roughly $500 per hour and you have to supply the engine. It comes out roughly to $1.40 + engine cost. Reasonable price to hp gain ratio.
