My car has been in the garage for 3 weeks now getting a clutch upgrade. I've been trying to bleed the clutch master for a couple days now and still not able to get the damn thing into gear. I've been doing mostly repairs but new mods won't come until early spring.

Gotta replace some rod bearings to fix the not so yummy knock. Gonna check everything out and keep stock what I can in the bottom end to save some cash. Wanna do the LE2's, put my LT's on, figure out what broke in my clutch(gotta mash it to the floor to keep from grinding) and polish up my fart cans.

I just bought a forged 383 crank, a Turbo Cam, a 76 mm turbonetics turbo, some -10 fuel lines a A1000 pump and ragulators. I picked up my Tail Blow off valve and waste gate today. And waiting for my 6 pt cage to get finished.
Yes I'm in a place that snows so it gives me time to work on the car... Now I need to save up more $$ For more goodies

New pistons and rings, port intake, swap elbow and monoblade for a 4 hole and a carb hat, looser converter, re-tune, remove exhaust for da shootout, possibly manual brakes and Kirkey seats. New hood if I cant get under this one(it will on paper...but...ya know how that goes). Looking for some low(er) 10's on pumpgas.

nothing too crazy
I had planned a 24x conversion, but put that on hold for now.
-new EWP since mine starting leaking from the flange where the actual motor seats
-LS1 lid swap with a FTP 98MM lid
-Chrs1313 Ram Air kit
-UMI CM chassis mount TA : Black
-Kirkeys ( sold Corbeau Forza's )
-new carpet
-graphite interior panels
-going with a dual bottle mount in the trunk
-Nitrous Outlet progressive controller
-ATI alum dampner ( 4#'s lighter then ASP )
-Yank SS3600 non lockup( SS4000 was too loose and no lockup saved 6#'s)
* 2 above mods took 10#'s off the crank![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
-FLT Level 7 ( Level 4 was taking a beating at my level )
-Hoosier Drags radials ( 10#'s lighter each and seem to work as well or better then M/T )
-changing up the rims ( not sure what yet )
-some other weight reduction stuff
-VFN bolt-on Sunoco hood
think that's it

Mines is still sleeping too. I have to weld in new patches because I had some rust holes, Took the tranny out doing new slave and going to do new master as well. Paint the underbody with rust bullet, subframes new exhaust and wheels almost done. Im hopping that I can be done by the end of feb. We will see what happens.

My plans are to pull my old motor, clean up engine bay, hiding wires, fuse box and fuel lines, repaint. Get my headers re-coated, polish alternator and accy bracket, powdercoat intake and shock tower brace. Get front bumper cover repainted.
As far as engine goes, custom 226/226 110 cam on 'new' 53k shortblock, with probably 21* TFS heads. Either 3.73 gears or new wheels.
