Keith from HP tuners tuned for the street while I drove around, I think we drove around for almost two hours.

We then trailered the car to South suburbs to have a friend pull out the 4.10 and install a 3.50 gear in the 9".... and do a few small other things.

We will pick up the car tonite along with the 20 gallons of C16 I got and move to the next stage...

Gentlemen, we are at the last stage. We need to do some WOT tuning on the car. Most of that will be done at the track. Unless we break something on the car before NvsS it will be there getting some tuning and tweaking.

Are you sure this is the final stage or are you going to change the exhaust setup again or something?

There is no final stage (we all know that). This is a journey on the road less traveled. (Ah, but will it make all the difference?)

Congrats John. It's fun to get a project done(?). Sorry I won't be there to see it.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our LS1 dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and Chevy Suburbans:
But when the blast of drag racing deafens our ears,
Then imitate the action of the NHRA hero;
Stiffen the chassis, spool up the turbo,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the racing helmet


Drive it to Arkansas some time.

Nice hijacking of the thread, bring your car so I can split your wig at US41.

Update:
-3.50 gear installed
-Transbrake working
-Lowered the back half of the car about 2-3 inches

Next:
-Need to install bump steer kit to get by
-WOT tuning
