You can tell that he doesnt have a colorado, but he want one, he said (THEY LOOK SO TIGHT). He said it like he wants one, not like he has one. Before you bullshit us, you have to pass DRIVERS ED.

Car Craft, December 2004, page 41. Quote: Our testing reveled the GMPP LS1 crate engine makes more than the 345 hp claim. As the numbers below indicate, this is a 400hp motor right out of the box. Unquote The 315, and 325 hp claims are for the SS, Z28 and Firebird. The motor that Car Craft tested was bone stock right down to the exhaust manifolds it made 402 hp at 5700 rpm and 398 ft pounds of torque at 4300. All the testing was done on a engine dyno. 
And like I said a couple thread up I am stating flywheel hp. Of course a Flowmaster wont give you 15 rwhp but I bet it will give you 15 FLYWHEEL HP.
I still consider the Hooker Headers a shortie, just because it looks a little longer doesnt mean its a mid length, you can tell the difference between the two plain as day the collecter is larger and located farther away. If it bolts up to the stock location its a shortie. Anyway who Gives a F*ck, this kid has none of it anyway.

Rear Wheel Drive on air ride with 375 Hp V8 doesn't get much better

i've seen a few gen III small blocks in colorado's already. not exactly complicated by any means even if he had done it. 
on the other hand, i know a guy who'd brother's cousin's buddy's dad's friend put in a set of vinyl floor mats worth 55hp. between that and a set of side pipe's that's all he'd need. not sure where you'd find a 300hp 5.7 other than a y-body LT1. if i recall the lowest rated gen III 5.7 was 305hp. some people can't even B.S. correctly.
