Default About my car

I have been on ls1tech for a year and a half. Thought I would share pics of my car that is almost finished. Most of the pics are when the car is dirty but feel free to pick it apart.

The only I ask is because if I remember correctly I think you need 16" of vacuum to run power brakes correctly. I dont know how big your cam is......Plus you need more Volume for all those pistons. I not try'n to act like I know everything, I just like people to be safe.

Looks damn good! Alot of work, but it looks like it's coming together pretty good now.. how soon should it be up and running do you think?

the bottle in front of the radiator, is that your overflow bottle? if so, what size is it, and how much weight do you think you saved by putting that on vs the factory one... or did you do it just to make room for the standalone?

I'd like to do that to my car, but I wonder about street use if a small tank like that would have enough capacity.. that and I'd probably mount mine in teh spare tire well, so if it were to ever overflow at the track, it won't put anything down that the tires will be driving over.

I like your breather setup too... I ended up just putting my PCV back on with my new motor, but I think that might be a good idea instead.
