Cool Finally finished PEPPE

She needs the hood painted still, spoilers done, badges are on, full repaint next month hopefully, dual 3" stainless cutouts are going on tomorrow at 7am :al: . Still breaking her in, 50 more miles & she'll have 500

Hopefully I found the high-end miss @5200 rpm, I'll be shifting @6900, think it was a bad coil, put some newer LS1 coils on tonight, cleaned it up under load, back to GForce for a fine-tune tomorrow on the dyno, hopefully she won't break up this time at WOT.

SpeedSpecialty made the pulley, talk to JD, sales@speedspecialty.com, tell him Brett sent you. http://speedspecialty.com/store/index.php

Glad I could help you a little, can't wait for your pics. The pulley is an ATI 20% UD pulley, if your talking about the top pulley it comes with the SpeedSpecialty relocation bracket.

It's a lot of work Bro, painting the engine bay was a job but worth it in the end. The little details make any project in my opinion. I have a lot of work left with getting the hood fit correctly, the spoiler, and need a new door skin on the drivers side, I'll get her painted in a month or so hopefully. Good luck with your project man.

very nice man. I believe it's a 396 solid roller right?
What are you looking to put down?

My project is almost as well. 396 hyd from LME and single plain set-up.
It's getting the paint and then off to the dyno.

Your's looks bad *** though. Let us know what you put down.

100% true.... First off Brett great job.... Looks absolutely beautiful. I've never been partial to the Borla sound but that's just me..... I plan on 3.5" collectors with 4" pipe back to twin dynomax 4" bullets and turndowns....

back to what I was going to say. The greatest projects are all in the details. I painted my engine bay as well way prior to the motor going in. Custom bending all the brake lines, routing as many wires as I can before the motor drops, completely tore out the stock wiring harness and wiring it with a painless kit. These are the things that seperate beautifully done projects with **** that is thrown together..... Probably the reason my project and I'm sure Brett's have taken so long, but it will show in the long run both visually and performance-wise.....

Just need to stop stressin the ugly looking checking acct....

Again, Brett, beautifully done.... hopefully i'll have some pics of a motor in the next few weeks or so....

Where did you get that coil pack setup, and how does it work? Is it worth it?

I built the bracket myself, idea was to run short wires, takes me 5 minutes to take them off, it's my second set of LTCC brackets I've built, last set was for my buddy which mounted on his centerbolt valve covers. Like Aggie said it's ok, not sure I care for how it looks but I'm thinking of another bracket setup I drew up.

The LTCC works great, I think it's worth it, but I do have a high rpm miss holding me back. It cracked 493rwhp today, but the graph is choppy. I'm considering the new LS1 MSD badass coilpacks, maybe she just needs more spark I don't know yet.
