just make sure you get the ones fom procharger , cause they are setup to be used with the ATI balancer and require no machining , unlike the BDS ones.

blue camaro, the elbow is from summit (EDL-3847)-- better yet , look up ls1 elbow and check out your choices . one word of advice , if you don't have it , get the edelbrock throttle body with the elbow cause for some reason , the bottom bolt holes on the tb side of the elbow won't line up with the TB ( i had mine mashined to fit.)
the intake is from SDPC -----> and its a GM performance intake for the l-92 heads specifically , no machining required pn : 25534416 . they won't fit the LS1 style heads. ( for that look up edelbrocks manifolds)

well i got some stuff in from summit today , mostly fittings and what not.
so i decided to plumb the oil accumulator ( A.K.A accusump) using the rear oil galley bolt ( the allen key bolt right above the oil filter) ....... bad idea !!!!!
i removed the driver side header and the block off thingy just above the oil filter so i could try to thread in the fitting ( adapter from the block,s metric thread to -AN male fitting ), because the threaded hole was recessed and how it was angled, i could not thread it in easily and it was a royal pain to tighten , only to find that the 45 deg hose end ( any hose end for that matter ) would not fit in such a tight confine ......
so i proceeded with removing the fitting , and guess what , it won't turn ; i couldn't get a socket on there due to how the whole thing is recessed and i ended up maulling the edges off the fitting . which led me to drive a big screw driver through it so i could turn it
so now its back to plan A ( using the front port behing the alt. and relocating the alternator to the pass side head ).
i also managed to redo the tranny coolers ( and add one more in the process).
i now have enough coolers to start a new ice age , and enough oil capacity to jack up crude oil prices by $10
now i hace a fan cooling each side for the coolers too.
here you can see how i stacked 2 coolers on top of each other :
heres the driver side cooler, check out the BOV outlet : the outlet usually peeks through the foglight hole in the bumper , you can see how the part that peeked through got sandblasted !
all i have to do to finish this up is to ground both fans, mount and wire a relay for them in the car . i'm just debating weather to have them tied in to com on with the stock fans , or have them on with ignition with the option of a on/off switch to kill them if i want.

lool, i have a thing against tranny heat
seriously, i just thought that since i don't have the space to run one huge cooler , i might as well run 2 smaller coolers ( the third one was a spur of the moment idead )

Looks slow.
I remember back in the day when you tried to get me to race you with my heads/cam N/A Fbody for $$$. I knew better.
Good luck with the build Sam. Nic, with a slushbox? I never thought I'd see the day.

Been doing well otherwise 
Still check in every here and there to see what's going on in the LSx world.Since when are blowers and built motors bolt-ons?

got my super pulley in today! got to take it to the machine shop to narrow it down a bit ( need to shave 12 mm off it - about .5 inch) i also swapped the crank cog from the 55 tooth one ( the chrome one in the pics) to the 73 tooth one . this got me into some fitment issues with the tensioner hitting the cog. i also found out that the brace i use on the back of the blower that attatches to the oil pan bolt hits the blower cog ( the damn thing is huge (45 tooth ! ) .
so its off tomorow to the machine shop to :
- machine a new bracket with a bigger / different notch in the side ( i want to use the old one for the stang
- fab up a new brace with a decent bend in it to clear the cog.
- get a new tensioner and machine a slot in the arm so the arm length can be adjusted
i'll post pics tomorow of the super pulley and the bracket if it is done.

Jeez it's like an OG AZ reunion all up in here. lol.
Yes Verbs, it was time to see what the real capability of this car was at the strip so the T56 had to go. Turbos and autos are seemingly made for each other. Now that I hooked up the transbrake we will see what it does on friday on low boost/street trim with 115 deg heat.
