Not to stray too far off topic, but how are you already making 550 RWHP?

Made 429 IIRC on motor tune and after pulling timing for the nitrous tune, it makes 413 on motor now and 550/553 on the nitrous. I have dyno graphs at the house that I can post from when it was tuned and dyno'd on the dynojet. Its tuned rather conservatively on a wet 150 shot to keep it safe. About to add fuel pump, 60# injectors, rails, ported fast 92, ported and polished 90mm TB, 25% underdrive pulley and retune it on the 150 shot hoping for over 600+. I can go up on the shot but 150 is the most I feel comfortable spraying. Really no need to go higher. I'm still on stock heads.

429 on the motor is pretty solid for a LS6. I'd be pretty happy with that when I get my engine tuned (appointment is still two weeks away). Is that just from the cam and the Fast 102?

That was just cam, CAI, ported ls6 TB, full exhaust and a tune. The VRX5 is a great cam and makes great power. Pulls from 2100-6800 and loves spray. I was going to run an MS3 but it's a 3k plus powerband cam and I wanted something that would hit lower in the band considering the weight of the car. With the 4.10, this cam is perfect. With stock gearing, VRX3 is a nice stick.

sounds like you need to mount them and just set the car down on a couple 4x8 pieces of wood. lol

My tires are sitting at Discount Tire right meow just waiting.

I think I'm going to drive the rims over in the Jeep, have them put the tires on (while watching them making sure they don't F them up) and then take em home and put em on the car myself. That eliminates the chances for any oopsies with the impact.

At first I thought thy sent the wrong color. Then I forgot that titanium has a black base coat. Looks like I'll have them on the car Saturday morning since I fell asleep at the tire. #badpun

One other thing that struck me: the deep concave in all of the photos we've seen (including mine below) cannot be captured properly. These things are DEEP. In fact, I'm gonna eat some cereal out of these after I post this.
