I've never had an ATI ProCharger. Should be interesting to see what you run with yours.

he changes setups like he changes underwear.........just kidding.

You should have a killer combo either way(lt1,LQ4,turbo,or procharged). I think you need to change to title to tin can shooting for low 9's and maybe even 8's if you get the car light enough.

got some work done. Got my master mounted and drilled out the brake pedal etc. Mounted my line lock and ran all new lines. The rear line comes out of the front master, down the frame rail to a union then the stock brake lines runs to the back. The front line runs from the master to the line lock, then from that to the "T" fitting then splits to each caliper....

Car looks good man, I can't wait to start my procharged motor, but I will be staying in the ltx platform as of now. I plan on switching to the LSx coilpacks and computer using the eficonnections setup so I can get rid of the POS opti.

But I'm looking foward to some new progress, I'll be subscribing

brake line look good. I did mine very simalar in my "bitch on a diet" build thread.

One thing my buddy joelster showed me somones setup the ran the passanger side front brake line up high out of the way under the cowl, that way you can take the Kmember off easly. I've been fine going behind the rack like that and thu the Kemeber so far, but that might be a little tricker setup?

It's doing good Jerry, I put a Circle D converter in and it hits hard as hell 1.46 for a heavy *** car isn't bad (3550 race weight)but I'm going to loosen it just a little bit more to try to get the car to go bottom 1.4's maybe 1.39 on motor. I'm going to be changing the cam also hoping to go 10.6's at this weight on motor.

BTW I need to let you have the car for a couple days and my junk would be running.

good stuff man, i've heard race brakes help so much in cutting rotational weight, its ridiculous how much they improve your times.

I have those same aerospace brakes on my car, and I felt they worked very well, and the weight loss was great IMO.

I'm swapping to the racecraft drop spindles and will be adding 3rd gen strange brakes to the front of my car, I have the same aerospace setup with modified spindles that's coming off my car, the brakes are going for 950 now for the fronts, I'll let mine go for 850 with the spindles (split the shipping cost)

Shoot me a PM
