Did you switch from Rectangle Port heads to Cathedral Port heads? Why change to smaller heads on a 6.2L? The stock rectangle port heads should be 255-260cc intake runner volume, and larger valves than those Trickflow 235's ...

Wilwood street brakes and QA1 single adjustable front struts. 14" x

TCI 1 7/8 long tube headers so much room the headers will fall from the top all the way to the ground.

3" x pipe gonna reuse my flowmaster 44s. Will eventually switch to borlas or magnflows .
130lb front coil springs for more stored energy

Terminator x harness has to be made for a truck. Some parts are way too long and others are parts too short. I understand its a universal harness but wow.

Building the intake tube was pretty easy so far

Going to place a small flat filter infront of this bellmouth
