Default Building of The Mistress

Old combo was stock short block LS1 with LS6 stage 1 heads, torquer 3 cam, Mamo ported fast 90 w/ NW 90 tb, Yank SS 4k stall, 12-bolt w/3.73's, built 4L60E, and all bolt-ons, ran a best of 10.91@123 with a 1.43 60' at Atlanta dragway.

Now time for the new build

So far I have installed a new 5" VFN sloped to windshield hood with Dzus fasteners
Kirkey pro race seats
Grant steering wheel and quick release hub
CM 6-point cage, will finish to 10 point
SJM Line Lock and ABS delete
Hurst pistol grip shifter
MWC tunnel mounted TQ arm and anti-roll bar
Tick battery relocation with cutoff
Lonnie's double pumper with stage 3 line kit, all black
Mighty Mouse catch can with -10 fittings
LS2 Edelbrock Pro Flo XT intake, 90mm TB, rails and 80lb injectors

All Spohn adj. tubular
K-member
Solid motor mounts
upper and lower control arms
Pinto manual steering rack
QA1 18 way adj R series shocks with 275lb springs

Power will be from an LME LS2 402 with an F1A procharger backed by a turbo 400, engine should be here in a few weeks.

Posted this in the drag racing section but thought it might work better in the FI section since I am going boosted.

Time for some pics






Now some of the tear down




















Now a few of what is going back on the car
New hood and rails





Build up pics
