A theme with horsepower to spare

On this cue, I especially like the silver veneer riding along each point. Also, Sandra does magnificent work. Such a fine cue.

Beautiful cue Dick, I love the Vettes! The ZL1 is my favorite out of all those, I've even got the Franklin Mint version of it.:cool:
 
Amazing!

This cue is nuts, I had to print a few pics off the thread to show friends.

A Porsche version of this would be excellent also.

What has been done to the Vette to get that kind of power?

I have a 2001 Trans Am with a Procharger Supercharger producing 8lbs of boost. When the car was dynoed, it was shut off at 5800 to be conservative and the timing was kept really low to make the car run rich. I put down 475 horsepower to the wheels on a Mustang Dyno. Looking to order a custom 9" rear end for it and take it to the track to see what I can turn.

The horsepower I listed is crankshaft hp not rear wheel hp, you'll lose 15% to 18% at the wheels.

It is 409 cubic inches with a lot of compression, a killer set of heads and a lot of camshaft.
