No tune yet, got the rearend centered, pinion angle set and the crossmember bolts fixed (tranny). I redid the bottle setup a bit, got the solenoids back and everything is installed. I need to get the wiring done and then tuning.....she will be rocking in the spring!

Tore the old exhaust and most of the nitrous off last night, and got the radiator and intercooler located (need to build mounts).
I also have the exhaust manifolds laid out. I'm using one ported '01 FBody Passenger manifold reversed on the driver's side and one ported '01 Truck Driver side manifold reversed on the passenger side. Driver's side clears fine, the passenger side has about 1/8" of interference that I'll cut out and box.
Next I need a flange for the truck manifold, which I think a friend of mine has in his garage. The wastegate and my remaining hot and cold side pipes should be here next week. Then it's just fabricating radiator mounts and the plumbing and it's all good.
The manifolds, hot side, downpipe (first 2-3') and turbine housing will be getting ceramic coated by Swaintech, cold side will be powdercoated wrinkle finish black by whomever can do it.
I also picked up a Lingenfelter oil feed block, and a friend is helping me setup the drain side. I do need to pull the pan to replace my oil pump, put in Katech rod bolts and weld in a bung for the return line.
Also have a lead on a fully optioned out Alkycontrol system. I'll probably be swapping the Pro-products manifold back for an LS6 while I'm at it as well.
Finally, the fuel system is mostly laid out. Dual walbro 255s in tank, one boost activated, -8 AN from the tank forward (-6/-6 into -8 Y in tank with -8 bulkhead) to my FPR mounted up front (Mallory boost referenced bypass regulator). I'm going to dual feed the rails to make sure they're fueled equally. Last but not least I'm looking at probably going with an AEM TruBoost or Turbosmart eBoost2 electronic boost controller.
For anyone interested, I ended up with a Turbosmart 48mm wastegate and a JGS 56mm BOV.

Blake,
Which manifolds are you using for what side? (You said driver side both times) Sounds like you're making progress very quickly. I must come over and check it out!

Fixed.
Looks like the nitrous is sold. LS6 intake and Alkycontrol kit + money in trade. Apparently Alkycontrol is good ****. I hope so, it's expensive.

Alky control is good. I prefer Snow Performance, but have seen lots of Alky Control kits and they are also top notch.
I took a plane up to day for the first time since I got my license back in February. I really forgot how much fun it is to fly. I just wanted to get a little refresher before I leave back into the Air Force here in the next few weeks and later to start USAF pilot training.
Speaking of which, you guys need to help me come up with somewhere to cruise to next weekend. Re-capping, I would like to invite all the GM/V8 guys out for a cruise next either Friday or Saturday late afternoon somewhere to get something to eat. Then cruise somewhere else for a photoshoot. I just wanted one last chance to hang out before I ship out for training for the next couple of years. Still tyring to come up with specifics though on where we should go.
Which would be better for everyone? Friday? Or Saturday? Also, where to go? Not sure I want to make a LONG cruise to Indy or anything, but would like someplace we could get a good cruise into. If we can't come up with anything, I'm sure we'll just pick someplace in the Fort, and make for a decent cruise around town.
All ideas welcome!

Arnolds can serve like 20 cars at a time. In a way its kind of like Halls (just not quite as much parking room for hanging out) If you guys decide to come down to Arnolds let me know!

I'm up for crusing but I'll have to ride along or roll in the BMW. RX7 is down, needed to start getting some parts sold, which is harder when they're on the car.
I'm selling both bottles. Zach, are you going to be out tonight? I need to snag that 15 lbs bottle, and I'll have yours Monday night if that's tolerable to you?
Anybody have a way to move the nitrous out of my completely full bottle, I can't ship it that way... You want it, you can have it, I'm taking a loss...
