Looks great Dave, best of luck!

My motor guy either died or changed his mind, he no-showed on the delivery and I haven't been able to get ahold of the squirrel since... If you know of another lead hook me up..

Thanks man! I really did not want to have all the tubes in the car like that, but i wanted a pass seat more.

Most "small tire" style classes require a passenger seat, but most people make it so its non fuctional by putting bottles or the IC in the seat itself. As I see it, i moved all the weight of the IC back in the car another 2 feet by putting it where i did, so its a win win...


I dont, but next time i pull the car out ill take a few for you...

I own a BS3 box and I'd say that its not a bad way to go but if I could chose between BS3 and a XFI box I'd probably try out the XFI just to see whats up, my friend with a turbo LT1 wants to try a XFI over a BS3 in his car when we get around to it just to see if it lives up to the hype.

Yea I went BS3. I think they both do what they are meant to do. I have used a FAST box in the past and had problems with the external data logger. So thought i would give the BS3 a shot on the internal logger alone.

Be cautious of that armrest... It will burn the **** out of you. I put my intercooler back there a couple years ago.

That new ice water/trans fluid cooler will be mandatory as well.

Sweet ride and good luck!!
