Default **she's almost ready**

I've been busting my *** and spending a ton of money, but it's almost finished. This setup will be a LSx 427 built by LME, built 4L80e with a brake, Bogart wheels, Strange brakes, tubular upper/lower a-arms, Afco springs/shocks, wolfe anti roll bar, wolfe through floor sub frames, and 10pt cage, Corbeau leather reclining race seats, large frame T-6 turbo with 5"DP, and 4" charge pipes. I just dropped it off at D3PE yesterday for a full ProEfi system with iboost, traction control, rolling anti-lag, it will be a lowboost/pump gas, high boost/C16 race gas car. Chris Delgado will be tuning it, and I'll be learning the software myself this year. She should come out swinging, and I'm ready to get her to the track for some shakedown passes. I deffinetly have a learning curve, but look forward to it. I owe my wife/sponsor (lol) a huge thanks for putting up with my drive to finish the build, and also owe my friend a big thanks for working side by side with me until it was finished.

You and Mr. Bryan should be a good race once you get both your cars dialed in. Looks great.

I did, I just didn't take a finished product close up pic of the engine bay. I wrapped all the hot pipes, and put a blanket on the turbine housing. It came out killer, I'll post a pic or Dyno video soon.
