Thanks guys, don't worry I'll be sure to keep posting any new progress. And yes I plan on cleaning up and painting the fire wall. I'm from Richmond, Va. But I'm living in Blacksburg. The car is getting swapped at the Quantico Marine Base so I can only get there on weekends. Don't worry Frost, I'll be sure to keep you posted. Only bad thing is, you'll have to come out to Quantico now when it's time to tune. But I'm sure we can work it out.

Frost, I'm sorry to make you travel up there I know the place sucks. But there are some cool people at the auto hobby shop where the car is and they were a big help over the weekend. And I'm running a 408ci lq9 with a 91mm turbo. I originally bought a pt88 when I was still overseas but the ******* never sent it. He got me for about $600

I've got a set of 6.0 truck manifolds with heat shields and plugged EGR. Kinda hard to just buy a kit when they don't really make one for a single turbo and an LSx swap in a b-body. As far as I know, I'll be the first unless someone beats me to it. Thanks for the words. Tell your brother good luck. I hope he has a lot of time, money, and patience.

I hope so, its a 8.5" 10 bolt auburn lsd. I doubt it would hold up with slicks but with drag radials I should be alright.
