Default Christmas in August

Here's a picture of some mods that I am looking forward to putting on. Problem is school has started and I am a teacher (no time!), still need to purchase some small but important items ($!!) and this is my DD. I am hoping to pull these things together in the next few weeks and get a run or two in before winter sets in.

I don't have facebook so I don't know whats up. Damitt..
And that Boss cam is what Roger recommend for me. Just make sure you change your oil pump to a std. LS6 and you will be good with LS7 lifters and guides. Goodluck and I can't wait to see some numbers. Your heading in the same direction I was before deciding to go turbo.

true that! TEP trans with a 300mm input shaft, 7/8 chain and a 3.29 gear was installed last month. Oil pump, lifters, gaskets and cam conversion still to go ....and the cost of a good tune!! Plan on selling my ported intake, Hogan DP, TBS and diablo tuner to help cover the cost of the tune. Thanks for your input

Hmmm, do you know what lobes they use? That's a big exhaust split, should complement that bottle nicely.

Engine and transmission comes out this Wed!! Engine will then be worked on after I get off of work, hoping to get it done within 3 weeks, then off to exhaust shop and to the tuner. Planning on posting some pics, dyno graph, track times and a high speed run.

no problem. Had a transmission guy test drive the car yesterday. He will be taking a look at a few things when the transmission comes out. Have a few more things to order; gaskets, header whistle flex tube and I'm thinking about trying to see if I can get a plate setup for the N20.
