Minor mods and your making 580?? What do you consider Minor Mods? The bottle?
No bottle.4.10 gears,some place in atlanta did the tune cant remember who,Ga,magnaflow cat back,fidanza puck clutch,DeatschWerks 60 lbs Injectors,bigger fuel pump,WCC supercharger,competition cams 54-428-11,fast 90 intake with matching 90mm TB,Comp 1.8 rr's,Thats just off the top of my head.

The only thing that has been done to it motor wise is the cam and rr's.All the rest are just bolt ons.

I see your point.I consider that minor mods.Now if I was to get into the motor and start blueprinting shit then thats what I consider major mods.All this was on the car when I got it so its nothing I did.I got it from a dealership that had to sale it to me for what book value was and the only reason I wanted it was because of the color.Electron blue.Hell I just saw the supercharger on it and figured thats all it had and then I ran a carfax and got the number to the previous owner and he told me what all has been done to it and sent me all invoices and receipts.He told me it got repossessed.I just got lucky on this buy.There was a guy ahead of me trying to get financed for it but I came with a cashiers check.:drive:

Minor mods
4.10 gears
cat back
injectors
fuel pump

Major Mods
Everything else.

A minor mod doesn't make a huge difference. A cam and an intake/TB blower makes a considerable difference. The rockers just bolt on.:huh:

An intake and blower bolts on too.I understand the cam.

Either way a stock Z06 is faster than the 427 roush mustang in the quarter.So take my mods off and I still have him.

Unless you are referring to a C.A.I an intake manifold and blower make more than minor gains.

Why?
In order to get a loan through the bank for the car it has to book out.Doesnt matter what has been done to it.I guess they couldnt sale it for anything else because they didnt hesitate to sale it to me at book.

It doesn't offer that info.
The salesman got his name for me somehow.I thought the carfax gave a list of names.Beats me.The salesman got it for me.

The dealership can ask and sell a car for anything they want. Whether or not your credit, or bank account can afford the asking price is a different story. How do you think dealers are able to mark up new cars 5-20k and call it limited availability mark up or whatever they want to call the rape the rich charge.

Intake manifold only adds 20 hp at the motor.It also calls for 1 hr to replace the intake manifold.Doesnt seem like a major issue to me.I always thought that bolt on means it bolts on the motor.:huh:
It does "bolt on", not the term you used. You said "minor mod". Build a car and you'll understand.

Actually I sold cars for 2 years at Bill Heard Chevrolet,now bankrupt,back in the 90's.The only cars you can do that to are new.We used to make tons of money selling the Mark III packages on conversion vans.A dealership cant finance a USED car through a bank that is way above book value.The bank will say no can do.We could sale the hell out of those conversion vans and they can bring it back a year later to trade and we can only trade it in for what the book trade in value says.

I just bolted all of the new parts to the inside of the engine.
But you took the motor out and im sure sent it to a machine shop.Thats MAJOR work.I guess if you think that then the next repair shop thats gonna come out is a shop that will be called JUST ENGINES.Like Just Brakes.LOL
