Yeah, not for what I spent on the clutch and flywheel set up. I should have gotten a better set up probably but it will do for now. Once I see how much power the new set up does and if the set up will hold the power I can determine if i will keep the clutch. If it wont hold the power, I will upgrade. But the flywheel will stay. I like the flywheel and the fact that is is light weight and rebuildable. I honestly think for our set up it is the best flywheel out there.
^^x2 on the update I just now saw you build thread,Looks and sounds awesome.I too welded all the holes in the bay along with the factory fuel line hole and rerouted my lines and wiretuck. Your motors is going to be beasty. Here's a link to my thread- https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...t-current.html

No updates. My billet main caps should have been installed over the weekend and honed on monday. Crank should be there as well on monday. Should take a few hours to put together the short block. Got to install my spring and set height etc. Waiting on my cam dowel pins from Comp cams to arrive in the mail. Once the engine is complete, it should all just fly together into the car. Everything is prepped and ready to go. Still trying tto nail down which overflow tank, p.s canister and oil catch can set up I am going to put it. I am looking for some nice tanks but I cant decide yet. Oh, and my custom made valve covers should be here this week as well.

Crappy cell phone pics don't do them any justice. I almost wish I had a few to display on a shelf in my bar. I am very pleased with them and the quick turn around to get them made. It was funny, Corey Clayton made a phone called and asked if they would be interested in making them. The guy said we have our morning meeting in a few mins, I will ask. Got a call back after the meeting and said sure we will. So this was set #1 and are now a off the shelf part at cp. I guess its who you know and who you are that gets stuff done.

Man you have no idea how much I want it done. It does take some time and money to get the car to where I want it though. It's one thing to make the power but another thing to get all the ducks in a row to make it all work together. I don't plan on being gentle with it..... more like dragging the bumper to the 60 ft.....lol.... then I can play nice after I do that.
