So, in the end, did you reinstall the front sway bar? If so, could we see some pics of that?

In the end??? I'm a long ways from done...

I do plan to mount the front sway bar but it is not my highest priority at the moment. I still need a new clutch, gears, boost controller, meth kit, 6 pt, etc, etc

Right now I'm just trying to enjoy the car now that's it driveable but I will update this thread after I install the sway bar.

I already have an LS7 in the car and it has been a good clutch but I don't think it will hold up to the increased torque. Plus I have a leaking slave so I need to pull the trans soon anyways

i had a spec 3+ (i know everyone dogs them but i LOVED mine) in my car before the turbo. it was a H/C/I car. made good power and lots of torque and the spec never missed a beat.

jon had a mccleod in his vette and that was a nice clutch also!!

Would the Turbo that low be a bad idea if you live in Los Angeles California? Downtown tends to get flooded when the sewers are backed up.

No updates yet although I'm planning a trip to the track either Oct7 or Oct14...not planning to break any records; I'm still at 6psi

I think you would have bigger problems than a low turbo driving through that much water! FWIW the entire turbo is higher than the bottom of the radiator

Did u have to notch your k-member to get the pass side manifold to fit ? I skimmed your whole thread n I didn't see anything. I went to put my pass side manifold on tonite and the one stud hits the k member. Just wonder if you had this issue.
