Default A few new mods
I know this isn't super technical, but I figured I would share with you guys. I ended up buying a set of sportlines for the rear and leveled the car out.







I also installed my switch panel and nitrous kit a while back. Although, I haven't wired it up yet. I hope to shoot it before the end of the season.



Here is a shot of the kit before I buttoned it up.

Looks good. Well done.
Can you tuck those wires on the solenoids in any better?

Thanks guys!

The wires were not finished at that point... neither was the bracket install. You can see I didn't even have the TB bolted on with all the bolts. The wires from the noids will be in loom and ran down the side of the intake, you won't even be able to see them.

Im hoping for 6.8's... if my converter will take it.

I am going to start with 150. I will probably end up with a 200, though I'm sure I will need a multidisk at that point.

If I only pick up .3 in the 1/8th from a 150 hit, I will burn this car to the ground. I assume it will go .80's.

Car looks amazing IMO. Curious to see how it hooks with lowering springs on the rear. What kind of spring are you running up front?
