Cool man. Your's sounds just like another local car here (springs not up to it)

I ended up going with a 242/248 .615/.621 on a 115lsa and shimmed my springs accordingly. Should have plenty of seat pressure. Start-up might happen this week.

I need it to run before any video. I'm in no hurry though. No corners are being cut with this car.

It looks awesome with the 345s and black wheels. I think the exhaust looks a little off with one tip.

Using the stock 4l60 and a Vig 3600 until the blower goes on. Then go to a stage x100 and a bit lower stall.

No numbers. Just started it up yesterday for the first time. I'm not putting the blower on until the engine is broke in.

Just realized it's been a while since I updated here. Everything is still going.

I drove the car a couple of times before I went back overseas for work. It felt strong but I didn't push it past 4500rpms because it was break-in mileage.

It put out 400/400 on the dyno at around 5,000 rpms before the bcm shut it down because the selective ride control hasn't been deactivated. You have to deactivate that when you put coilovers on a car equipped with that option or it limits your speed/throttle response.

The engine and entire drivetrain is coming back out next month. Engine is getting machined for 1/2" head studs and the 4l60/stock diff/half shafts/hubs are all getting ditched. Replacing with a 'Glide, built diff, 1000hp half shaft/hubs, and some other little pieces to keep it going straight.

Switched my choice of blower to the F1-R. I hope the new radiator and fans from Dewitt's keep things cool.

Not finished yet. It's still N/A. Powerglide, built diff, and halfshafts are going in first. Then on to the blower.

Long time, no update.

Changed direction, again. Twin TC 76, ptk style system is sitting at the shop. Still waiting on the 'Glide, halfshafts, rear diff and a few other things. AMS1000 sitting at shop as well.

The magnetic ride select has been deleted and the car went to the dyno N/A. Stock fuel pump couldn't keep up. Sold the headers to a buddy and the guts are getting dropped out of mine again for the swappage.
