ls1 speed, beautiful work. I really like the final product. I have a stock set up using the a/c so I can't use your brackets in my car but I think I'm gonna get on the mill and make something better out of aluminum for my car that looks more like I give a crap.

My bro and I just finished making brackets for his 388 stroker in his 66 chevele. Made i out of 5/8 plate and lots of polishing. Why should he get all the nice stuff? You inspired me man.

P.S. Did notacop97z lose a bet or was his painter sucking on the the crack pipe. I mean come on.

yes...all brackets,spacers and tensioner are polished

I would expect to take orders next week, but need to confirm that after this weekend.

The next item is making an alternator only for LTx F-body's and then we could look at other vehicles and designs. We have the ability to make most anything, so email me some things and I can forward them to our machinist.

thanks

Looks like you went with the stock reservoir/lines route. Are there options for aftermarket reservoir and lines to hide the reservoir some from the stock location or something better looking?

PS...I will try and scan the car tonight and see what's up but the TPS looks fine and is tight...have been at the NHRA hot rod reunion in bowling green since we talked last...

I'm sure a custom tank and lines can be done. I opted to go stock due to cost and the fact others can see it works with stock lines/res.


talk to you soon

We are supposed to have the kits in our hands tonight. We can take an order by phone anytime if you would like.

BTW : I tracked the car and drove 150 miles last Friday and 0 issues.

i made sure i read the entire post to see if anyone else would ask that question. contemplating the set-up but only if i could get the ugly no-polish look. it'd stick out too much in an otherwise plain, business oriented engine bay. i'm not looking to buy it now but any idea how long you will offer these?

no plan to stop offering them

as for a polished resevoir and lines can be done, but it would just take some AN line and comp to AN adaptors

yes..some rain going thru Gurnee going up, no rain at the track, but very wet road coming back

no wipers, mist and darkness make for a scary ride

We go onto dry roads back around Gurnee and cruised home beyond the speed limit
