Put about 150 miles on it so far (with no exhaust lol). Loving the reactions of people who hear/see it at the gas station and grocery store so far.
Gauges are all working now except for the MPG's. Picked up the rest of the exhaust late last night so will get that in this eve hopefully.
The dual intake would not work as someone mentioned. Too much turbulance was causing error messages.

I am selling my dual intake setup with filters for $275 if anyone is interested. I have a post in the classifieds. It was close to $400 all in IIRC from hotrodlane/street&performance.

Just a great job. Congrats on getting it back on the street. This has been about my favorite build thread on here!
Now, if you'd please put a hitch on it and trailer that old 510 to NC and leave both with me - then I'd be happy!!

I am using a Shroeder stock car 1.25" bar setup. Although I haven't gotten around to installing it yet. I have to drill and thread two holes into the subframe for mounting. Another member on here is using the same setup.
I just got word it's on the dyno Will be on there all day and I will pick it up later this afternoon and get some video.

The tuner said heat was killing me. Intake needs to be routed into the fender and he suggests a bigger radiator too. He also said the stock LS7 heads are hurting me and suggests I have them ported or get some different ones. I am still pretty happy with the power and especially impressed with the curve.

I am using his mounts as well, I was just curious if you guys found another option with your build for it.
Curve looks rather impressive, I bet its an absolute riot to drive. I cant wait to get mine on the road as well.

I don't believe a stock LS7 would make that at the tires. But yeah, I was losing tons of timing with heat issues. I have re-routed the intake into the fender and the tuner made a few changes. Also needs more dyno time. Should be easy to achieve 500+ though. This is only the beginning. The car is an absolute blast to drive.
