What kinda V8 is that? I would assume LS1 GM motor, cause those are pretty common import swaps as of late, but I only recognize them with their spark plug covers, and what not.

I'm not possitive but like you I'm sure its a GM... I was on my way out and the guys were pulling my car around so no one was there to ask and I had forgot about it by the time I saw them again...
did start talking to him about my car and he was showing me a single turbo RX-7 and took me for a ride in it... only running 9lbs of boost and it was a little bit quicker than mine so I'm gonna take that leap of faith and order the single turbo. He was telling me that with what I got in my car right now and then add a single turbo (they have a intake and exhaust system made of titanium) and bigger spark plugs I could possible get to 500whp if not that much I could get close... I'm skeptical until I see it...
There was a dyno chart there of a '93 Civic that was 819hp pretty cool

Yeah I still don't get how people squeeze out anything above 500hp from these damn Hondas. It just seems inconceivable!

Funk Master Flex's 2nd Annual Celebrity Car Show - August 20

Got a small treat for yal. Just cracked open an ancient photobucket account and found sum pix from a decade ago(reminded me how fun bein young really was lol). Aside from about 150 pix of vans shoes(back when i just wore em, didn't think too hard bout em)that I found, I stumbled upon some pictures from a disposible camera I brought along with me to Funk Flex's 2nd annual celeb car show. The show was actually 2 different competitions, one for us normal folk, and one for the celebs. The car we went in took second place in the Nissan devision. Somehow, a few pix are missing. For example, the winner of the show, Wyclefs 1.8 million dollar McClaren. But the pictures I did miss, i found videos on youtube or other sites that I'll post below. The ONLY thing I couldn't find was wyclefs monster truck on hydrolics...appearantly that things was so rediculously awsome that they destroyed all evidence of its existence cuz i really can't find it...i got to stand in the bed of the trick ( it was a pick up) with a few other kids and they made that thing bounce so hard it was f*ckin scary...damn near fell out! and not the normal front to back OG bounces either, them full on "one tire at a time" bounces that will damn near flip a car!
here's a quick write-up of the event, names the celeb cars and what not. Its worth a read.
ENUFF TALK, PIX!!!:
Since we slept in the front of the line for 12 hours to be first in the show, we got to take pix w/ flex!

When we first hopped in, he had accidentally turned the volume up. I quite litterally lost some of my hearing for 20 minutes of the ride.
a few other non-celeb contenders:

onto the celeb whips!!!:
This is a video I found on youtube that shows the $1.8 million McClaren(43sec) that stole the show from the big tymers! the whole body kit was made from carbon fiber, wich took 2 years to make. It has one front seat(3 total), dead center in the middle of the car lol RAW!!!:

Big Tymers!!! The hummer in the back is the one from the video "Fo fifteens, didn't see no wires!!! then I heard BOOM from the amplifiers!!". The seats were made of ostrich leather, and it stank like dead animal...lol. Not pictured here, there was a matching candy apple read corvette w/ a custom LV ragtop as well.

Ooh MR. That answers my question in the pickups section. What's the reason for the teardown? Front mount?
