I actually DID build up the SCU.. right after I got it.. flames were shooting from the exhaust as I raced down the drags.. had folks flagging me down.. car's headers were changed by the previous owner (which likely changed airflow), but it wasn't retuned/dyno'd.. friend told me to do that, but instead I added an oil cooler and a HUGE 3/4 core radiator and went from 14' to 16' Spal fans.. that presented an issue as they didn't up the gauge of the wire.. cooked 3 LS wire harnesses before I got that straightened out.. Tcar was STILL overheating.. (to lean)... so I finally had it re-dyno'd and reprogrammed (lost a little HP) to richen it up... ran nice and cool after that... also re-did the dash .. twice so as to move all the radio controls, etc. for a 'in reach' for 1 driver. .. had a Harley custom paint dude do the wing.. came out really nice so it said ANGRYBUTTCRACK.. leaping off of 10' foot drops from Olds to Wash 6, broke the motor mounts.. which Buckshot built improved ones .. and then was 2nd gear and clutch only.. had the transmission rebuilt.
You're right though.. the 'add on's get expensive.
At this point I'm done with my SXS... all finished, just maintain..
unless I follow my heart and go back to a V8 LT rail.
.. we shall see.. I miss the 'race car.'
