UPDATE:
-Ordered my new "Ram Air" hood finally
-Also I found a good deal on some Corvette LS2 Fuel Rail Covers (So I may just end up putting them on now b/c I like the way they look as opposed to the LS1 FRC's.
-RACETRONIX "HOTWIRE" Kit also arrived a few weeks back
-I managed to get all of the stuff I needed for the A4 swap except for the A4 pedals.
(Gonna hit up the junkyards soon)
-SOLD the Black Z06 Wheels to a friend... I'm gonna run the Racestars only now!
-Just waiting on my Shortblock to be completed, and I'll be ordering my cylinder heads after that!
(I Can't freakin wait either)

Thank You very much man, I totally understand that. Money is Very hard to come by these days. I'm blessed, And I have NO KIDS. lol Oh, and as for my knowledge, I made sure I learned how to work on cars so I could do it as a hobby too.
I'm a full time automotive tech for this reason.
Thanks!

Cam swaps are not very hard at all imho. As long as you have some mechanical skills you'll be fine. Worse thing that can happen to you is 1 of the lifters falling in the bottom of the engine and you not being able to reach it even with a flexible magnet.
Ask me how I know. lol
Had to pull an LS1 out of my buddies 6 speed car (2001 WS6) to get to the lifter after losing it inside the oil pan during a cam swap. I could've lowered the K-Member and pulled the pan off, but it already had a few oil leaks that needed to be addressed anyways.
But no it's not that hard really! Just very time consuming! Especially when doing the valve springs!

VFN just had a group purchase on them.
I'm not sure on the pricing of them, as i got mine in a group purchase. (it was cheaper than regular prices)
Not to mention, Armando at VFN said I was the very first person to recieve the new WSQ hood since they have been released to the public.
QCon was the designer of this hood, so he got the first prototype hood, And I got the first production hood.
It arrived today, here's the pics I managed to take on my cell phone!!!

Thanks bro!
Hopefully, I'll have it done this year and we can get some friendly pulls in.
I'm counting the days til I get it back! I'm thinking it's gonna be within the next 2 weeks for sure. But June 4th is a Saturday, and I may go grab it then if it's done. Or the following weekend. Either way... I want it back ASAP!
I'm having withdrawals now! lol
