Sold my 12 bolt to ReggieWarrenJr and Burkhart is currently setting me up with a fab 9".
Changing the exhaust housing on my GT55 from a .96 AR to a 1.40 AR.
Upping the radiator size, still need to order it. Have to get a custom radiator due to the height. Cant be over 15" tall.
Going with a dual breather setup on the valve covers. Seemed like i was having problems with proper ventilation.
Getting a AIS water meth kit setup for my car. Need to get the intake temps down, and cant be running a hot setup any longer.
Sending my truck manifolds off to Jethot for some coating.
Dual JGS 40mm wastegates.
Boostleash boost controller with CO2.
Think thats about it as far as performance goes. Also doing a lot of visual changes for the better. Wheels re-powder coated, hood going blue with lights, stereo and sub, suspension painting. just normal BS.

Yea i had fluidyne make me a radiator mockup sheet and it looks great. Now just waiting on the funds for the purchase. Working on changing to a dual catch can setup from each valve cover. I really dont want to go to a vacuum pump so this is my final try. But at the same time im sick of pushing oil out of every seal in the motor when in boost.
Got the frontend all painted black a rebuilt. Now just making the new 17s fit in the front is being a pain in the ***. I had the caster set as far forward as it would go to lengthen the wheelbase, doesnt work when going to a normal tire. Helps none with the car being lowered. Here is a pic of what the 17s look like.
