Update...
Car is all done (with the exception few little things to clean up here and there). Working on dialing in the suspension on the 28x11.5 ET Streets. Got it to hook launching off of 12 pounds off the transbrake on the street. Took it out for some initial track hits on low boost and it did pretty well, gonna have it back out next weekend.
Anyways, got some pics of it all done at our "test" site... Pics were taken with my blackberry so sorry for the quality.

I was a little worried about coolant temps with the downpipe running within 8 inches of the waterpump also. It runs about 180 or so on like 75 degree days. If it is like 90-100 degrees out the car will run about 195-200 degree temps. Pretty happy with that overall.

This is what is so cool about this website and LSX guys in general. We love the motor. Who gives a rat's *** what it's in as long as the execution is good. If you got on a Ford or 5.0 site with this car, you would be crapped on.

A few people had told me that... However, I have driven it around quite a bit without brake warping. I haven't by any means done the power tour with it, nor do I have intentions of, but I am very happy with how they have held up.
