Well guys finishing up on my new project. Still a couple odds and ends to tie up and Speed Inc to do the tune. Probably small to what UNSTANG has going on but I had to start somewhere.

That's awesome Adam, I didn't realize how close you were to finishing it. Is it a stock long block LS1 or what's done to it besides the obvious?

Mine is a year in the making...I wish I would have planned better.

Yea its a 4L60E with a 3500 stall. Don't know how long its going to last, Good thing I know how to rebuild them . I have only had the car 4 weeks now and still have alot to do before next year. UNSTANG you gotta let me come check out your setup sometime unless your waiting to show it when its all done.

Ksths2- Do you have any other plans for your car?

Orangemagic - Very cool car!

My plans are to once again tear the *?&^$ driveline back apart to send off the Vig converter to see what the deal is, whether its really a 3600 etc. Either way it needs to be 4000 on motor and it'd be great.
Other than that, currently installing a 6 point cage, and probably bump up to the 150 hp N20 shot.
But currently bought a golf cart and completely losing my mind and pimping it out so the family has a better pit vehicle.

On a different note, you guys see on Eddyville's website they are going to have a 6.90 heads up class that run the same days as the 10" tire shootout stuff?! I'll be there for sure!

Default unstang 1yr and counting

But as we all now it will be one of a kind and not like all the other slapped together cars out there. I can be one to say it will be worth the wait!! Hell it is free heated storage(in a ding free zone).

It will, as long as you only purge a 250 shot. Otherwise, have a dust pan and your AAA card handy.


UPS dropped a few more parts off @ my house the last few days. Getting closer!

KOOKS HEADERS
If anyone is planning on buying a set of Kooks headers anytime I can save you some money. I won a gift certificate from the LSX shootout and have no use for it. PM me for details if interested.
