A&A 8 rib bracket with Procharger 8 rib pulley's
Innovators West 10% OD balancer
Custom piping to Treadstone intercooler
Custom fuel system for E85 Done thanks to Jamie from Race Part Solutions
SD 80lb injectors flow matched from FIC
MIGHTYMOUSE stealth catch can
McLeod RST ]
LG GT2 coliovers
Weld RTS 17" rear to put the power down (hoping)
'08 Z06 2.66 ratio TR6060
'09 27 spline diff RPM update to 30 spline and HD output shafts
'07 cradle
RKT56 offset mounts

A couple pics, from the last round of mods:

Whatever you want to do, can be a custom piece, leaving up to your decision. Have some things we can discuss.

I went with the RXT... NEVER heard a bad thing about it and a few guys around here run it with some serious power and say it drives amazing and bites amazing when needed.
