I've given thought to a ls1 front end for the plate opening but id kinda like to stay true to the engine
I hear you there, the front plate area on the LS1 is nice, but I love the look of the LT1 front end. I saw a picture one time of a LT1 TA with the foglight holes cut out into ovals, and they put screens behind it. It didn't look right at all on a TA, but looked good on a Formula.

im not planning on cutting them out any bigger or into another shap. just cutting out some of the plastic that makes the holes go so deep back in toward the engine.

If thats your coil next to your FAST box, you better move it. The FAST will get interference from it. It should be as far away as possible.

Google radio frequency interference.

Bring it to the shootout and you will have a damn good chance of getting a feature in GMHTP.
