2 things this week and if you're following any of my other threads you'll know what 1 is. I shot over a deposit to Vector motorsports for a procharger kit and some headers, and I did something completely pointless that I've always wanted to do: Sparco steering wheel and a quick release hub
Well the car is now in the hands of Vector motorsports for the procharger and exhaust install. I did end up changing to kooks true duals at the last minute. Fingers crossed everything goes well boosting a 145k LS1.

Reason: english is hard
God there is no feeling like getting behind the wheel.of an fbody again
Honestly I'm dying a little on the inside, I took the Jeep to a cruise this weekend and it just felt wrong. Here's hoping the Camaro gets on the dyno early next week, the blower and kooks exhaust definitely aren't going to be quiet!
On one hand I love the teaser pictures, on the other I'm probably just getting too hyped to get the car back. Hallelujah for the MWC watts link working with kooks true duals.
I'm excited for you man, there are times I wish I'd paid someone to do mine and I probably would have drove it a lot more instead of setting around as long as it has
I've had the car back for a little more than a week now, it's definitely more fun and the kooks exhaust sounds great. Apparently our conversation about how much power I wanted was either forgotten or ignored and it got 404whp on a mustang dyno. I'd like to actually drive and enjoy the car before winter, but come spring time I'm going to be going with a smaller pulley to get ~7-8lbs of boost and finding a tuner who can hopefully get me into the ~480whp area I was shooting for.
Had the car out driving for a couple of hours of shenanigans this week and it seems like it's still not idling perfect (died once when I pushed in the clutch while decelerating) With only a little more than a month left before it goes into winter storage I'm not sure I'll get it retuned before spring anyways. She still looks pretty decent though so there's that:
Well, I'm on the road for the rest of November so I had to tuck the car in for a few months. Looking forward to getting it a little more power in the spring.
Parts ordered, going with an 8-rib upgrade for my D1, kicking up the boost and slapping an LS6 intake on this spring. If it lasts the summer we can rebuild the stock block with a forged bottom which would be cool.

It sounds like Kooks took a while longer than expected on shipping. I think it'll be worth it for the true duals though.
