Not sure if I mentioned it but they are hooking me up with a tranny refresh too. Gaskets came in today for that. It's pretty much ready to button up. After that it goes on the rack so everything can be put on. Only reason it wasn't done sooner is because I can't drive it and told them to take their time.

No they are up there. I have some other things I want to do but it will have to wait.

Spiked arrived about an hour ago. Looks great and they said it was packaged real good. Note: In the second picture it's not chipped. It's just dust from the packaging.

I went back and forth between the extended and this one. I got this one because it's higher than the stock ZR1 spoiler.

Good time to do it. When we ran into each other at TX2K I know you were hurting. Hope you are getting well.

Sure did have to get some stuff done on it but I can play again.

I got back from my vacation two days ago so I went and checked on the car yesterday. The blower and bracket is off and getting polished, the exhaust is completely out of the way along with the drivetrain, and I gave them the go ahead to start knocking it out since I've transitioned to a cane a couple months ago and my knee is getting stronger. Not quite there yet to drive it but ready to see progress on the car anyway.

Little update:

All drivetrain, fuel, and suspension is back on. Ran into a issues with the 10 rib though. Since ProCharger doesn't make 10-rib blower pulleys I can either keep the balancer and go 8-rib on everything else, go full 8-rib, or keep everything and see if Dallas Perforomance still makes custom 10-rib blower pulleys. They are checking on the latter for me and if they do I'll go that route. Pictures will be posted soon.

I was on 6 rib. Only reason I bought 10 rib was because it was the same price as 8 rib. Boxed the 10 rib up earlier in exchange for a 8 rib kit. It should be fine but if it gives me any issues I'll add a secondary drive.
