    absolutely love that car, mine was the GTO 6.0l when I was learning to drive…would love to have a judge and new concept to rebuild with my kids…

    Sup from Michigan City, IN. Love the car bro.

    I think the shop upsold you on a few parts, odd cam specs, and a few questionable services. Iron block 5.3 with 706/862 heads are dime a dozen. you'd almost not care if one blew up.

    fwiw 141 mph only takes 811 bhp. I would like to see you run 155 mph.

    Are you running an RPM transmission

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Oakes Shorts says:

    why use conventional oil for break in? just a cheaper option when changing it so much in the first 1000 miles? or is there a benefit to it.
