Fantastic build. Just read through the whole thread, and I've decided I need to make a trip up from Greensburg to see this beast. Maybe one weekend while I'm up at Grissom for autocross we can meet up. The only suggestion I have for improvement would be to see if you can tidy up all the SS lines running on top of the motor, especially the steam vent lines. I just feel like they don't fit right. Apart from that, top notch.

Well, pretty big update. The last piece of the puzzle has been picked up. I went and got my RPM Level 5 4L80e Transmission along with my Precision Industries Vigilante ~3600 stall today. Im ordering everything i need to install it tomorrow and hopefully have it in the car next weekend. Its just some small stuff left after this. Should be ready for some tuning in march!

Got some more stuff done. Got the front end buttoned up, turbo blankets on, and I got my shifter in. Pkus a few extra small things that needed to be addressed. Going to try to fit the tranny in on sunday. Im still waiting on my swap harness..

Not sure if anyone is following this still. But, I got the 4l80e in the car. I ordered a new slip yoke for the drive shaft. I also ordered my eboost2, and digital fuel pressure gauge and will wiring those in this week. I ended up selling my FIC2000 injectors and will buying a set of ID1300s instead. Only thing im really waiting for is wheels/tires and CTS-V brake upgrade and then we can start tuning.

heard that. as soon as we get those injectors. hopefully it will be warm enough we can both get a tune asap.
i wish I could convince you to go with alumastar 2.0 like im getting. that car would look amazing with them. sure they are expensive. but strong, light, and look better than any other race wheel IMO

Again. sorry for the lack of updates. I mainly update everything on our boosted LSX page on facebook, or on my personal facebook. But, the car is just about done. this saturday it should be pretty much ready to go other than exhaust and some odds and ends **** like an oil change/alignment/tune.. . I did however, get my CTSv calipers in and powdercoated, my wheels and tires on, and got my gauges installed along with my new ID1300 injectors. I gotta get the drivers seat back in and pick up a battery soon. My buddy bought a dyno so i get free dyno tunes now, and it should be operational by april 1st. so I hope to be on the dyno within the next 3 weeks.
here is some progress....
CTSv calipers behind 17x7 Dark star wheels
325/50/15 MT ET Street radials
ID1300s
The cockpit... Eboost, auto meter trans temp gauge, innovate LC1 wideband and AEM fuel pressure gauge
Car on the ground, first time in a year!!
