I love the way your car sets! I need to get a LS!

Anyway, any updates on this?

Numbers don't lie, but I'm not exactly running a stock LS. I've put my baby on a diet and made a custom intake and exhaust. It puts out more power, I assure you.

And it's not like I smoked the doors off it. I was out on a date with a girl and this teenager pulled up and started reving this Camry. He had some little bimbo in the seat beside him, so I reved back. I then got ready and took off, he jumped on me a little, but I managed to weasel past him by 60. I beat the kid by a fender at 70.

This was on an empty highway by the way. I let off after I pulled ahead.

-Thermactor, that speed limiter for the 99 LS isn't 149mph. It's either 155 or 159. I can't remember.

Well not sure why the discussion is going up on racing Camrys. I don't really do that, and have no intention on doing it. When I go to the race track, I take my race cars or race bikes, not my LS400.

SCOTT-Car is in the shop getting the blower put on. I have been incredibly busy with traveling and another car project (320hp and 1500 lbs!!), so haven't posted as of late.

I should be picking the SCd LS400 around late February when I am back.

THanks.

Ryan,
I am really interested to see what kind of results you get with the Supercharger. Did you get a Richwood kit? Just wondering more details on the build. Your LS is so sweet looking and now a supercharger!

As am I. I'm looking into another vehicle, and I know I'm keeping my LS400 just because there is no point of ridding myself of it.

Car looks great. I just bought one and I love it too. Did the same stuff pretty much when I bought mines. Full tune up parts etc.
