Nice. What do you plan on doing for exhaust? I'd recommend at least a single cutout and get a o2 bung welded on for a wideband if you haven't already.
exhaust i have no idea yet ireally want true dual but these cars really have no room for it but even if i did i would want seperate mufflers(no idea what i would do on that) first i have to have it gray labeled by the ref for california than maybe lt header and forget about smog till later on.. the door decal im leaving off and the iroc-z badges on the gfx im leaving but below that where it says "5.0/5.7 tuned port injection" i was condering taking that off and putting something like 6.2 ls3 376 but i might just leave the 5.7 tpi on it so nobody knows what ireally got going on

Ya thats always the hard part. I work at a auto shop and a lot of the cars have to wait to get fixed till Monday cause most places are closed. At least for specialty parts. Are you looking for a new trans or used from the site? I have seen some of them for sale on here, some sound pretty nice. Keep us updated.

They should be the same. I might be able to help you out with pedals if you want some used. I am going to do an auto swap so my parts will be up for sale soon. Let me know if your interested.

Swap seems to be coming along nicely though.
