Dude... I read your whole thread and I am really impressed! Excellent attention to detail and quite a sleeper. I think anyone who pulls up next to you will no doubt expect your car to be fast.. especially once they hear it... but no one will be ready for just how fast it will go!!!

Thanks, I wanted the car to look as stock as possible even under the hood. I will be having the car running this week and hopefully get a tune before I have to go back to work.

Don't know if you covered this earlier in the thread, but how easy is access to the rear of the engine, near the spark plugs? It looks like the shocktower/firewall wraps pretty close along the back side of the engine.

Very Easy to get around the whole motor. Can change the plugs in about 20 minutes. It fit very nicely in there. Its smaller than the stock 6 than was in the orig..

Turbo parts starting to be ordered. Hopefully will be done in a few weeks. Should take about 3 months to complete. Looking to put down around 750-850 rwhp if the car can handle it.

Well havent posted in a while. I have finally decided to pull her out and get her ready. Wanting to break into the 9s. Finally ordered my fast 102, solid read differential bushings and DR. I'm still working on my return fuel setup and deciding on the best nitrous setup to run. I do have a built motor but only want to shot 100. After intake and dyno I should be around 500 rwhp plus the spray. I also also need to replace the clutch. Started slipping.

Last time running at the track kept breaking rear half shafts from wheel hop. Thanks to a little info and help from another member I have taking the steps to get the car to launch correctly. Wish me luck.

Do you have any problems passing state inspection? Do they plug into the OBD-2 port? Or is it just a visual/safety inspection?
Thanks

I dont worry about inspections. That car is reg in texas and I have it at my house in louisiana. Besides the two times I did get pulled over, they were more wanting a ride and to see it. Lol.

Would like to thank Monster Clutches for hooking me up with a twin disc. A world of difference from my stage 2 single monster. Also Picked up a fast 102 and had it ported. Last I added a Corvette filter/regulator for a return system. Will be dropping it off at EPS sometime this week, just waiting on a knock sensor pig tail that got broken changing clutch. Also added Solid differential bushings in the rear and energy bushings in the front. http://www.flickr.com/photos/52712020@N02/8204394727/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/52712020@N02/8204394727/ by http://www.flickr.com/people/52712020@N02/, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/52712020@N02/8204395145/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/52712020@N02/8204395145/ by http://www.flickr.com/people/52712020@N02/, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/52712020@N02/8204398105/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/52712020@N02/8204398105/ by http://www.flickr.com/people/52712020@N02/, on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/52712020@N02/8205486356/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/52712020@N02/8205486356/ by http://www.flickr.com/people/52712020@N02/, on Flickr

Default Awesome progress

Hey man i am in the beggingin stages of this same build and have a bunch of questions for you one some of the small details I have not been able to find searching and calling around. Would you be willing to give me your email so i could ask you questions directly. Might be a time saver for me. Mine is eric@lakeshorepropertyservices.com

I have a 05 g35 coupe a 07 ls2 out of a vette and t-56 already and a complete ls3 also in the garage. Obviously more parts than time right now, but want to get everything together before I start to dig into it.
