If it was this easy everyone would have one.

I think you said before about the MSD spec, though considering I have loads of Omega bits, plus loads of mods would I see the much diff apart from seats and body kid.

Depends, I can't remember all of your engine mods.

The main differences are the cams. Thats the only thing I can think of off the top of my head thats different.

It does have a new engine not a re-con which is fitted with different cams, a lightened flywheel + manifolds courtesy of GM, when I threatened them with legal action in 2004, due to the 4 recon engines that failed they did this to compensate and injectors, I uprated.

I just drive and notice the things I have done lol

think a usable electric super is meant to draw between 3-4kW, which is a tidy alternator load to say the least. You've just done all that work on your airducting, go for ram air effect haha.
