Default Longest week of my life...

I've been posting on here for about a month or two now that I have all these parts to install and FINALLY I've dropped the car off in good hands and now must wait for the transformation! I dropped a basicaly stock LS1 w/ the exception of a lid/LTs/ORY/Catback and a non-functioning nitrous system.

BUT... in "x" amount of days I'll pick up a totally different car... AFR 205's, LG G5X3 cam, Fast 90 intake/Throttle body, Racetronix fuel pump,#42 injectors, new lifters, comp pushrods, new oil pump, double roller timing chain (if no clearance issues... damn it steve) I have an LS7 clutch waiting for her at the house, along with a fab'd stand alone fuel system for my SOON TO BE functioning nitrous system.

Only problem is... I have a week to think about it all....

Default No worries

Hey, saw you had posted here so I figured I'd reply. Things are going fine. We are right on time like I had told you. Heads,cam all are in and waiting for an intake. Steve posted up pictures but I am not sure were he has them. And yes if I did not have my car for a week I would feel the same as you.

Congrat man you will be the owner of one of the fastest cars on the street, but at the track 11's are a dime a dozen haha.
Things to look forward too. at a 50 mph roll you spin your tires, Rain scares the crap out of you because you hit the gas one time at 70to 80 and it felt like the road was made of ice. When taking it to the strip you wonder if this will be the run where your tranny or rear end blows up .... So many thing to look forward too haha I'm shure the guys here can think of many more.
