Default Pics of my new forged shortblock bling...

Just thought I'd post up some pics I snapped of the new setup, just got it on the road last night.

W2W Callies forged 347ci LS6 is installed
SLP (LT1) radiator, !AC
upgraded to a 24k B&M trans cooler (had 16k)
polished water pump
polished valve covers
polished brake calipers
powdercoated caliper brackets
powdercoated radiator shroud
powdercoated coil rails

Looks pretty good !

Thanks for the nice compliments fellas - Bit Viper yeah I'll have to make a Pizza Port meet pretty soon. Tonight Sat 6/10 some people are meeting at the old 'Domestics' site at the Diane Shopping Center around 8:00 if you can make it out.

did you do the polishing yourself?

I'm looking to do my calipers and valve covers and chrome a bunch of other stuff.

Thanks guys. The polishing and powdercoating was done by a local shop.

Yep, the car is all Cali legal - CARB numbers for the blower and shorties, and the nitrous is easily removed for visual. Still has AIR and EGR of course. I'm running a LS6 cam in this setup which should pass smog no problem and is a decent blower cam.

Shooting for 550-580rwhp on boost and ~700 on the jug.

LOL yeah, I'm sure hoping for some 10 second slips. I haven't been back to the track since it was just a 3800# heads/cam car with a slipping tranny, so it has been a long time coming.

I spent most of yesterday washing/waxing/detailing and cleaning up the engine bay. I cleaned up the wiring around the EGR/oil cap and nitrous lines, detailed the valve covers/coil packs, and re-polished up the ABS block and brake lines. It's gonna be a bitch to keep all this polished stuff clean, heh.
