Tuners have their neck on the line on every job they do, and I have never heard a single bad thing about Steve Frost, which is simply amazing with today's keyboard warriors.

It would be very cool to see your car get down into the 8.50 to 8.70 range, you have the parts and the manpower to get it done! Bob

Just from researching the 370 that size of motor seems to like boost and I didnt want a big cube and big stroke motor. Then what sealed the deal was when I talked to Bryan at the LSx Shootout this year while I was at the LMR trailer looking around. I thought he was a very informative and knowledgeable when I talked to him and has been amazing to talk to through out the ordering process. Has been able to deal with all my stupid questions too !!

Im running a 370 (9:1.1 comp) with LS6 TEA stage 2 heads and an EPP blower cam. Car made 780/707 (M6 car) on pump gas. You should be well over that at the same boost (16psi). Cant wait to see some results from your car.

Well a lil update but I dont have any pics till I get over there Monday again to work on it so I post them Monday night. Got the transmission out---stock clutch definately didnt like the 450rwhp from my previous H/C setup it looked horrible. Got all the fuel lines ready to come out---basically got to remove the fuel filter and they will fall out. Crank pulley is off----ready to pull the motor as soon as we figure out the blower intake hat. Need to pull the motor though ASAP so I can get some of the stuff to powder coating. I will have pics up Monday night tho.

What makes this build so sweet? No offense intended I am just trying to plan for my future build. Of all the current build threads people seem to be raving over this one. Why is that? (I seriously don't know)

Nothing makes my build sweet by any means..... All I am documenting is my build for people to see and things I do to my car that people may not think about, I pay attention to detail and likewise does my buddy Nate who is helping me build the car. I am not hacking my car up either unlike some I have seen, I plan on doing everything as tastfully as we can. Making everything we do look like it was suppose to be on the car. Oh yeah and I am shooting for 800+rwhp which seems like these days no big deal......but it is to me!!

Well after working with Nate to get a headers and full exhaust project of his done on a 05 GTO we finally jumped onto my car for a little bit. We started mocking up the intercooler and figuring out what we want to do about the radiator. We cut the inner tab for the front bumper support so we can move the intercooler as far back as possible so I can retain my fog lights. (Meth tank will be in the spare tire well with a 3 gallon tank supplied by Alky Control) Here are some pictures from tonight....



^^^This above pic you can see the tabs on the frame we removed for the intercooler. (Still there in this picture)



^^Just a mock up bumper.....I got the one that goes on the car at my house!! No worries guys!!


Will hopefully get back on it after X-Mas!!!
