Thanks man. I don't think I'll ever sell her so I figured I'd give her a different look.

Well I guess this is it for this thread. The bodywork is 99.5% done, just need to tweak the front lip a bit for a better fit. Other then that, the car just got retuned and is driving great. Just over 500mi on the new motor. Ill be switching to syn oil at 1000mi. Got a few more things in the planning stages but maybe I'll make a new thread for that. Might make the LS/SVT meet so I'll see you guys there.

The car looks and sounds great! Are you going to paint the quarters or leave them carbon fiber?

thanks man. I was thinking of painting them but everyone that has seen the car in person tells me not to. What i may do is put a dark clear over them almost like a candy clear to give it a darker smoke effect so from a distance the whole car looks black. But we will see.

Circle D multi disk converter is on the way. Lock up at wot for an extra 20hp+? Yes please! And I thought I was done for now. Lol

Ill be selling my Yank SS3600 if anyone is interested. Still feels great, no trans issues whatsoever. Just lowering the stall a bit and getting a multi disk for lockup.

Awesome man. Tom is great tuner. He'll get the most out of your setup. I'll be seeing him in a couple weeks again with the new tc.
