i think you can fit a PTE88 with that kit, it would be alot better then a T70 when you get your 402
with a built engine id at least get the T76gts you might get unhappy soon when you want to turn it up.

that front cover looks pimp also, id love to be able to afford that, two piece design is sweet.

Thought I'd give ya'll an update. Everything's installed and car is running. Working out a few bugs now (esp. the alternator belt that keeps popping off, seems okay now) ... working on tuning right now, I'm sure Jeff L's gonna follow up soon with Dyno numbers!

Little tiny gotchas along the way.... At the moment it seems I got ripped off on an oil-pan by a user here so I am having to locate one. It was supposed to arrive last weds, so it's holding things up right now. Also need a windage tray. I ordered one a month ago from GMpartsdirect, but they have NO IDEA when I should even begin to look for it. I had thread after thread looking for a windage tray and no one had one.... Need a pickup too.

I say end of Jan, cuz the whole thing has been full of little piddly **** like this, and I know better than to expect it to stop.

Ha! That's what happens when you get your PTS Kit too quickly!

Man, During my 4 month wait on the kit, I'm not gonna lie, I used the ENTIRE time taking care of little things and I was still doing so the first couple of weeks my car was at the installer. So, trust me, I hear you. Sucks about the oil pan... If you get fucked, make sure to leave a nice user feedback.

Well I just got the bolt kit from PTS to the guys at the shop so I hope that helps with the belt issue.

Yeah, I got the bolt kit, too, but only after I bought all of them myself with the measurements!

Oh well, my installer says everything is going pretty cool so far.

I do miss my car.

You know, our set-ups are very much alike... How far are you gonna push the stock bottom?
