As I was researching the various blower options, one downside I could see using JDM is that when you get the XCal2 from them, it will be locked and you can't make any changes to it... even with XtremeTune or other SCT software. If you need any changes whatsoever, you will have to physically send the X2 back to JDM to make the changes (even something simple like a gear swap or tire size change). And they won't e-mail updates tunes to you. JimIII at JDM has said they may change that practice in the future, but as far as I know, that's the way it is done now.

That did wiegh heavy on my mind Don. I guess it just came down to the fact that I believe in JDM that much and have that little faith in the local bone heads...
If needed I will next day that baby to them and park her for a couple days...

Vote taken...<!--QuoteBegin-acadian@January 27, 2006, 9:39 AM
I would also vote for GT350SC, but I'm not sure you'll be able to fit all that on the fender and have room for any rocker stripe at all on the fender itself. Plus it might be hard to find the "C" although I guess you could just get it custom made. My official vote is for GT350S. And I did a little research... the "S" did stand for supercharged. Basically though, no matter what you put there it's going to look good on your car, so you can't go wrong.

Yeah I seen that too Ian, I learned something new yesterday.
I had the first stripes custom done using the exact specs from the 68 Shelby, so I will be able to come up with which ever style wins the vote...

How about 281SC on the rocker. Just a thought.

P.S. My vote for Rocker lettering would simply be be GTSC. The number is a little confusing as most people think it means HP and the car will be making more than 400hp at the rear wheels....
So, if you have to have a number, go with GT400SC or just GT400S might work better...

I like the GT 350 as it lend's it's self to history. I figure the GT 350S was a Supercharged small block set up for racing so a version of that would be well suited to my Pony...
I'll add yours to the poll though.

I cant wait...
There are tons of Vettes out here, that are mostly driven by tools...Rice is my # 1 target but Vettes and F-body's are a close second.<!--QuoteBegin-tricksixtyfive@January 27, 2006, 1:23 PM
your car woulD look so much meaner with the hood scoop grilles black and the head lights not blacked out IMO..
[/quote]
I will probably black out the mesh in the hood scoop's but I like my headlight black outs...You have to see it in person, you can still see the round headlight and it has a wicked effect.

Well actually my 281SC suggestion was if you wanted to drop the GT and try something totally different. If you are fixed on going with GT then GT 350S is what I'd do with.

Your vote is added...When I get her all done I want to take some nice pictures on the Las Vegas strip and post them up. I'm thinking at Caesars Palace where Evil Kanievil jumped the fountains...

What is wrong with just plain G.T. 350?
