When Jim Bates first bought this 1996 Impala SS brand-new in 1995, one of his first visits was to Thunder Racing. Jim, who is still a regular customer,  stopped by this morning for some routine maintenance.  His 1996 Impala SS is running a stock short-block with 11.2: 1 compression, Thunder Racing custom LT1 camshaft, and AFR 195 Competition ported cylinder heads.  It has a Thunder Racing ported stock intake-manifold and a custom cold-air induction system.   The exhaust consists of Clear Image 1-3/4″ long tube headers mated to a Thunder Racing custom x-pipe and a Hooker catback exhaust.   The rear-end is equipped with 3.73 gears and transmission modifications include a TransGo shift kit and a Vigilante 3200 stall torque converter.

This 2009 V6 model Pontiac G8 will be hugging the curves all the way to the National G8 meet this weekend in Bettendorf, Illinois, compliments of his new stiffened suspension. We installed BMR adjustable toe rods, subframe connectors, and tunnel brace, as well as Spohn upper and lower rear trailing arms.  After a quick alignment, the customer will be on his way to meet up with other G8 enthusiasts.  Look for the guy in the Thunder Racing t-shirt and make sure to say hello!

This beautiful 2008 Atomic Orange Metallic Corvette is under the knife right now getting the latest go-fast goodies.  We had previously installed Kooks 1-3/4″ long tube headers and x-pipe with high-flow cats, B&B Exhaust, and a Vararam ram-air intake.  Combine that with our new CheaTR v3 camshaft and required accessories, and you’ve got one hell of a street ride. 

Update — Here are the dyno numbers as promised!

We took a little trip over to Holden, Louisiana today to drop off a customer’s car to be mini-tubbed.  Check out these pics of Wizard Racing’s showroom!  Not only does Jason do awesome fabrication work, he’s the main creative force behind Wizard’s amazing designs.   Here’s also a couple of pics of the project that’s heading into reconstructive surgery.  The wheels are Fikse FM5′s, 17″ x 13 1/2″ wide, wrapped with Toyo Proxes TQ P345 40R 17′s.  Pictures of the finished product will be posted ASAP!

We are starting to see the new 2011 Camaro starting to roll in.  We have one here at the shop today and we also have another scheduled in Friday for a cold air intake from Halltech and a Corsa catback exhaust system.

We have had great customer feedback with this Freaky Friday Sale.  This is also our 13th year for our Friday the 13th sale, so we decided to extend the sale through the weekend.  We would really like to thank all those that have ordered and that will order with us on this sale!!!!

Random Install shot for the day:  2009 Pontiac G8 getting a B&M tranny cooler, complete with braided stainless lines and -AN fittings.  The 6L80E transmission should be MUCH happier with lower operating temps!
