Default Latest round of mods, QTPs, 2-step, Speedinc relo,MSD Dig 6+

I snapped some pics of my latest round of mods, thought I would share. Im sure some have seen the new rear Rims/tires already but figured id throw a couple up anyways.

Speedinc Alt relocation kit is in and I put in a MSD Digital 6 plus, that has a built in 2-step, timing retard and rev limiter. I mounted the momentary switch to the steering wheel for easy access since Im a lefty and didnt like the idea of messing with it near the shifter. Works pretty good!

That looks really good man. I like the idea for the momentary switch, may have to do something like that on mine but with a more permanent type of mounting.

Did you have to ditch your ac or anything with the alternator relocation?

That thing is clean. 33,000 miles is low. I think I put 4K on my Z28 the first week I had it. I couldn't stop driving it.

How long it take to throw the alt kit on? Any tips or tricks to the install? Been too lazy to put mine on but you've got me motivated. Any potential clearance issuse w/ lowered cars and the location of the Alt? Any underneath pics?

Bay is stoopid clean man. Looks great!

Thanks!!
The alt relo kit is pretty straight forward unless you using a BBK Underdrive pulley.
I had to redrill and lower an idler pulley since the belt angled to much and rubbed on itself! Easy fix but pain in the *** to find the right belt. I dont see any probs with a lowered car.
Also changed plugs last night, not too bad with LPPs and the Alt relo on, alot were easy from the top and the rear from the bottom, pulling the starter made it easy.

Deleted my buddy's heater/AC box this weekend when we installed his new engine. Talk about a walk in the part when it comes to future plug swaps...
