Yeah, I guess I could swap it on/off. What do I need for the Grant wheel?

I've thought about losing the pass air bag but the only reason I haven't is b/c my wife rides with me sometimes and I'd feel horrible if something were to happen that an air bag could have prevented. I don't drive like an idiot with her in the car but that doesn't prevent some1 else from driving like an idiot, ya know.

GM install kit P/N 3196

I worked on the N20 setup Sunday and got about 1/2 done.

We tuned the car NA today and I'm happy with the results. (no torque read out)

355 rwhp

I think it's good considering the :
TH350
4000+ stall
12 bolt w/ 3.91
28" ET Drag
Steel DS

I will post some Nitrous pics later this week.

Nice car, I will be around the south side of chicago representing the lt1s also. How much is that trickflow elbow and a nice cold air intake set up....I am trying to clean up the z I bought in July, it has a pos intake set up on it and would really like to clean it up.

Default thanks guys

no transbrake ...yet I want to test it this way first and then most likely do a brake and TC swap.

$78 for the TFS Elbow

The CAI I made myself and it would be approx $125 w/filter. ( painted ) We could powder coat it for an additional $40. This is 4" and would recommend the Z06 85mm Maf as well.

I do not need the maf since my car is a 93, so it would be around 200 for the whole thing right cai and elbow?

How long would it take? I have to tear apart the front of the motor for an ac compressor, timing cover gasket, and oil pan gasket, but the car should be out in march..

oh yeh..it's beautiful outside

We would need the car for 1 day to fabricate and 1 day for coating if you want black. We can turn it around in 1 day if you want it painted like I have mine.

email me when you are ready
