Transmission came in today, so I had it installed along with the stall.

The car feels like a beast now, and I still haven't got on it until I break it in for a 100 miles or so.

I'll definitely need some sticky tires now

You OK with that converter so far? The SS3600 feels very tight compared to the PT I sent you. It doesn't hit near as hard but had to have it w/the juice.
Can't wait to hear your 60' when you get those needed stickies

Car looks really good with the new wheels. I have always liked the use of the old school Z28 badges on 4 gens.

Yeah this converter hits hard! I can nail it going about 55mph and the rear will break loose. I can't wait to get some sticky tires, my 60ft times should drop.

When you remove plastic inner fender well, there is a stud that attaches your fender/bumper together. I just put the wires on the stud and put a nut on top. Its easily seen once you remove the plastic fender well.

Changed the look of the *** on my car. I switched from 17x9" rear ZR1's to 11" wide. Got some Hoosier DR's on them. Also ditched the black berger panel and got a factory red one. Switched out the LS1 style tail lights to LT1 style and smoked them out. Ordered some stainless steel black mirror inserts from Emblem Pros. And added a Chevrolet license plate


Went from this:

It's been a while since I updated my thread.

A few months ago I added a MWC fab 9"
