I'd love to get a baseline dyno done first, but that's just over an hour away and time is hard to find between the kids and work. I'd think there's a plethora of baseline C5 dyno #'s out we can all draw a comparison from.
I'll still take the car to Geoff for the tune afterwards and *hope* to throw it on the rollers just to see what it puts down and tweak a few things.
We'll see.

Oh I know. I'll have a pair of 6ton where the lifting pucks are. I'll put a pair of 3ton under the crossmember as well if I have to get "persuasive" with anything.

Damn stock wires and heat shields!!!
Every single wire has pulled, broken clean in half, from the boot and the boot itself is "disintegrating" when you try to pull it.
Yey me

Progress...
Got all the plugs and wires out, AIR pump removed, most of the lines out, Blackwing and TB (that never had the TB bypass done) off, and a belly full of good beer.

I got the H pipe off. All that's left is taking off the stock manifolds and loosening All the front suspension and crossmember and installing the headers.
On a side note... Tried to order a 3/8" ceramic coated tunnel plate earlier from Los Angeles Performance Division and it kept telling me the merchant ID was invalid... Any ideas? Did they all the sudden close shop?

I beat my sheet metal while it was on 2 jack stands and the jack... at a horrible angle to boot (I was praying it didn't slide off the jack stands since the front was so high, but the rearend was out and yeah).
I got over my phobia a long time ago. Otherwise, I never would have gotten anywhere with the car.
Yes. I am an idiot.

Before I had kids, nothing scared me. He'll, I rolled a Jeep over 7 times and walked over a mile with a broken back, had rods and screws put in, got a staff infection and nearly died, but now that I have kids, I've gotten kind of soft. What I always do is have a jack right there by the jack stands to be a backup if something happens. A lift would be really nice.
