How is that a sleeper? The cam would be a dead give away. A sleeper is a car that either appears stock and slow or is not supposed to be a fast car in the first place.
There was a mid 80's Caddy around here that used to be a big street racer, the car looked pretty much stock but ran low 11's/high 10's. That's a sleeper.

it's a sleeper b/c i said it is, i could fit it all under an almost stock hood. here everything lopes, so it would just sound normal....on my way to school yesterday there was a z28 lopeing HARD as hell, but you couldnt hear it to well over the exhaust of the oldsoble on the other side of me.

Well I plan on getting the stock hood after the turbo. The car will be pretty quiet and look stock so most will assume it is stock, soi my car will be a sleeper of sorts. I think the Grand Nationals are factory sleepers, most kids today have no idea what they are until they get ripped apart by an 11 second sixxer.As far as building one, I always wanted to get a ranger and swap in a 302 on the squeeze.
