Looks factory. Nice and clean! Good luck!

Do you need to do anything to the PCM for this swap?

Not with a T56 car except the speedo needs to be adjusted through the tune. Car is 100% drivable though.

I will be up there with a couple cars, but not mine. I have a vibration/noise in driveline and believe its the pinion bearing. I just don't have time to look into it right now.

Sounds good Ill see ya there with or without my car. I hear ya on being busy. Ive been working until 8 getting home around 9 then working on the car until 1-2AM every night. Wears on ya after a while but Im motivated since the Shootout & now that the weather has cooled down. This summer was just brutal. Wonder if Jim will be there and able to correct my speedo?

Good meeting you Rob!

I made one hit on motor. It did beat its old best 60ft but felt really weak going down the track. Got the car to the pits and it wouldnt start again. Found a fuze that I had jumped a power cable from was really loose and causing fueling issues. By the time I figured it out both lanes got shut down. So I hope to fix that and get the nitrous working and head back next friday.
