Default 00 WS6 street/strip build round 1

Well I have been on the site for a while and gone through quite a few rides, but I think I finally found the one I am keeping and have dumped a ton of time and $$$ into it over the last 6 months. So I thought I would share my build. I would like to get the car to run low 10's/high 9's with a cam+nitrous ls1, but we will see how she does... If it doesn't do it cam only, I will probably add a set of ai 241's to the mix and they should get the job done. So far I have gotten this mod list going:

Engine mods:
-BTR .660 dual springs/steel retainers
-7.4 Trickflow chromoly pushrods
-Tick perfprmance cam 233/240 .617/.589 112+2
-LS7 lifters
-nitrous outlet 78mm plate kit
-ls2 chain/ls6 pump
-Stock MLS head gaskets
-Hooker 1 3/4 longtubes
-TSP y pipe
-Borla XR1 dumped
-LS6 intake mani
-SLP ram air
-Tuned by myself using hptuners
-PB UDP
-Racetronix 255 w/ hotwire kit

Driveline:
-Built mvb th350 with 6" tailshaft
-Yank pro eliminator 4000 converter
-Mild steel driveshaft made for short tail trans(plan to swap for a chromoly soon)
-Moser 9" with a locker and 4.11's(plan to swap for a 3.70)
-15x3.75 and 15x10 Racestar's
-275/60 Mickey Thompson ET street pro's

Suspension/Chassis:
-UMI tunnel mount tq arm
-Hotchkis boxed lca's
-Spohn rod end phb
-8 point roll bar(to be installed, after I get booted...)
-Afco da coilovers for the front
-Spohn heavy duty rear sway
-Factory Bilstiens in the rear with hh mod and 1 coil removed
-SJM ABS Delete/Linelock

Weight Reduction:
-!complete ac/hvac system
-!front bumper foam
-!factory stereo and aftermarket system
-!sound deadener
-!factory steering wheel
-!spare tire and jack
-!rear seats
-!horn, air pump, smog
-!front sway
-!a bunch of other crap I can't remember, pretty much if it doesn't need to be there, it isn't hahaha.

That's all I can think of right now, but I will keep it updated as I make changes.

I know these things, which is why I bought the cage. I just can't send it to the chassis shop until I get more play $$$$.

Do you have the before and after dyno graph for when you installed the camshaft Greg? That would be cool to post.

Looks good!

I have been driving it the last 2 days, since it has been nice out. Nothing rubs in the rear, but I do have to raise the front more because I am scraping the airdam literally as I am driving down the road if I have a passenger in the car and hit the brakes lol.

Yeah, I notice your front looks a lot lower than mine.
I set mine back to stock ride height. But may lower it some.
Right now my front is 27 5/8" to fender and my back is 28 5/8" to fender.
