Default Started the GXP for the first time in 4 months

after a winter looking like this


I started her for the first time this year and i sure do miss the girl




The gf decided to jump in a few shots lol






The roads are too dirty so i only made it to the end of the driveway lol...


I do have a question, what is the normal oil pressure for the LS4? I'm running at 45-50psi after its warm and 55 - 60psi when i give it gas.

dug mine out yesterday for the first time in about 5 months. Had to try out the diablo tune and get my cold air intake installed. Put back away for probably another month or two yet. Hoping for an early spring.

i got it from the w-body store, it has all autometer gauges, wideband, fuel and oil pressure. I still have to figure out where and how to tap in to the fuel line.

the fit is actually very good. i trimed the pod holes so the guages would fit with out as much pressure, and the pillar itself fits well but there is a little gap on the top but i will figure a way to make it as tight as the stock trim.

I had the same pillar but fit to my MCSS and it required some trimming for it to match up with the stock doorline and I had to remove some material for the gauges to fit in smoothly. It comes with screws and holes to mount it firmly and tightly like the stock pillar.

mine didn't come with no screw but then again the stock pillar didn't have any either, i guess its different for the MC.
