Just starting my build on my TA. I built a procharged ss 2 years ago but made the mistake of selling it when it was complete so I started over.
Forged LQ4, twin 70s, 4l80 with a 3k stall and a QP ford 9". I plan to have it finished within the month now that I have all the parts.

After finally getting the car working mid summer- it started absolutely blowing through the TCI 4K converter. So new converter is first on the list. Hopefully after the converter I can put on a season of problem free miles
Issue #2- as I was pulling the car inside to park it for winter it lost fuel pressure and died. So I'm going to have to decide if I'm going to continue to play with internal pumps or just buy a sumped tank with an external pump. I don't want to have to do it twice!

Going to try to take the car out for a couple more track outings. Hoping that I don't have too many mechanical issues to take care of from the track outings.
Upgrades: Will be looking to cut some weight here and there out of the car. I will be doing research and searching for the best deals possible for cutting weight. Not sure how many of these I will get to.
1. Convert from a T-top to Carbon Fiber Roof
2. Fiberglass hood
3. Power to manual brakes
4. Sell my third member (Wavetrac, Nodular Iron, 3.25) and switch to S-trac, Aluminum, and 3.50.
5. Quick release Steering Wheel

Install my alky control kit.
Install Burkhart Camaro front bumper support.
Move the AC condenser from the front of the radiator and hang it behind the FMIC in the front bumper support.
Install refinished front bumper cover.
Moving the ac condenser should get rid the the overheating problem.

Hook up my boost controller.
Hook my cooling fans to the Holley to control them.
Hook up my 2 step.
Install a trans temp gauge.
Get my flex fuel sensor working.
Remove the band clamps from the aluminum part of my exhaust and weld the joints.

Swap out the Yank PY3400 for a spec built PTC unit.
Redo the interior.

Hell, I'm trying to still get last Winters upgrades to Mesh together. Let alone starting some more, But by springtime I'm thinking 8.8 Rear. Crossing my fingers the 10 Bolt holds up at the track next weekend.
