If you don't reach 600RWHP, will you send me the motor and let me try?

Bet you can't wait to get all that stuff in and working...

You're going to love polishing those wheels! I tell everyone that I love my wheels, and I hate my wheels. They look great, but they are a bitch to maintain.

. I can't wait to see the finished product.

yeah i like those billet covers. they were out of my price range when i was shopping though. i have the GMPP covers, which i like, but i'm just not sure what to do about accent colors on everything. i've either gotta do a chevy orange/something else to match the block, OR i've gotta paint the block sunset orange to match the rest of the setup.

also, my coils need to be nearly invisible. that's a clean setup in that picture, but i like mine out of sight.

ok, i got my camera back. i went ahead and uploaded a TON of pictures from the day we cleaned out the garage and rearranged everything. finally got some shots of the car on the iForged wheels. keep in mind, there is NO weight in/on the car, that's why it's all "SS Z71" right now. here are a few shots from that day:

no man, i don't. sorry. the ones it appears in next to my car are all i have. it's pretty much stock, minus the APS kit, 12 bolt, and black deep dish Y2K wheels. i'm sure i can get more taken one of these days. we've been having really terrible weather lately, but it's supposed to be nice all next week. i might be able to get some good pics then.

absolutly everything in the car right now is UMI, front to back. i plan on switching the torque arm out for a BMR Xtreme piece and adding a Spohn drag bar. the rear shocks are the factory Bilstein's for now, but i'd like to get some QA1 shocks to replace them with.

Parts on the car right now as it sits or in the garage with it are :

UMI K-member
UMI Adj. lower A-arms
UMI upper A-arms
UMI SFC's
UMI Adj. Torque Arm w/driveshaft loop
UMI Adj. LCA's
UMI Adj. Panhard bar
QA1 R-series coilovers
Stock rear springs, shocks, sway bar, and a Moser 9"
