So I thought you were doing the LS1 pcm this year? Did you decide against it, or just not time yet?

Btw, I went with a sunoco hood this year as well, but I went for the regular not the wide version. Don't mind the ride height in the pic, the motor still isn't back in it yet

I had planned to, but then thought I would really need a cam and intake swap to make good use of it. The new opti as of last summer is working well and we'll ride her out for now

car looks good as well even on hydro's : LOL

Looks great like usual, definetly one of the cleanest LT1's out there. Anxious to see some new times from it as I plan to go down a similar route one day, keep up the good work!

Outstanding job Larry. Car looks so aggressive now. I'm sure it'll make HighTech cover again.

me too! I hope I did not give up much ET NA with the tighter stall for the killer N20 results. I might have to have to converters laying around.

very very trick idea with the seats that might be something I will look into...my drivers seat is at 26lbs now, no real reason to ride in a milk crate for the extra few lbs saving...

I like all the changes alot...makes me want to do more detail work on my car instead of just hp oriented...

so you know the big question since it is done...what do I get with you on the bottle

haha...

car looks sweet man

yeh.. seats would be a good idea for you IMO and something a little different. The car is so much nicer to cruise now over the old Forza's.

I would have loved to go mush faster and surely could have done so with what I spent, but I like to look good. The changes should hopefully accomplish both.

I have not even tested yet, so give me a little time to figure out if I can work with that fly'n H/C car.

thanks and see ya soon

that is one clean car. I wish mine could be that clean, but with all the little things it would take me forever.

I will definitely look forward to seeing it at the shootout and possibly driving down with the SpeedInc. Crew

Everything is looking real good.

I still haven't even got my heads back from the machine shop yet and its been like 2 months. I know they are backed up bad right now, but how hard is a few cc mill???

. I'm at a standstill stuck waiting on the milling and flowbench results so LE can cook me up a cam

.

Good luck when you get yours to the track, it really does look stellar.
