So what new rear rotor did you go with? Now i'm afraid of running my CCW 3/8 spacers with ARP extended wheel studs. Mine are on 19x12" C6 Z06 wheels, just got them, I might add. Glad to hear it's up and running. Pac 918's, I have not seen those yet. Are they single's like the Comp Cams? Why not opt for a dual, or are they? Any mufffler on there? A dynomax single bullet race unit would really sound awesome with your setup.

it was a oil pan that was used on a 41x c.i. motor and had to be notched for the crank.

im still using stock rotors but im running a 9" with 35 spline axles, on the package of the new studs it says in capital letters DO NOT USE WHEEL SPACERS, haha guess i should of read that the first time. The valve springs im using are single, reason i didnt go with dual is because im just using a z06 cam so it doesnt have much lift. The exhuast is ran back into a magnaflow muffler sounds good to me but really quiet at idle. Im needing to buy a electronic cutout for the track.

I don't know if you have a problem with this or not, but I'm sure you will in the near future though. The heat generated on the drivers side is going to destroy that motor mount, so you will have to run solid mounts. Also, if you didn't make a power steering line, you may want to do that also.

Any pictures of the cold pipes running thru the DS area around the fuse boxes? Can't wait to see some numbers on this kit at 100%.

yeah i had a hydralic line made for my power steering so that it wont touch. So far the poly mounts are holding up, if they will hold till i buy a tubular k member it will be alright
