Default Pics of my drag setup!!

Had the SS down for about a month doing some upgrades.

Just finishes installing the following..

TSP Tsunami Cam
Edelbrock 1 3/4 stepped 1 7/8's Long Tube Race Headers
Hutto 3" Stainless X-pipe with 3" Bullet dumps
Lowered 2.5" all around
Holeshot Holestar 15x3.5 Front
Holeshot Holestar 15x10 Rear
28x13.5x15 Hoosier QTP's (yes, took a LONG time to fit without running)
Removed all AIR and EGR crap
Removed front bumper support

Already had..
AFR 205's with Gold Dual's
BBK80mm TB
TR MAF ends
Hardened 7.4 PR's
LS6 Intake (stock)
4.10 Gears
LID & K&N
Tuned by RPM


I will be getting it tuned next weekend, I am going to switch to the Edelbrock Victor series Intake with Elbow for a comparision in power.

I would have to say it sounds incredible now, runs like a BEAST and looks fabulous in my opinion! LOVE IT!!

Thanks for the compliments all!!

Man, I got good at removing the springs over and over to get them cut just right. I actually went through 2 pairs getting it just right. Even with me, my wife and son, it does not rub at all! The exhaust does scrape a little though over big bumps.

Wow, that bitch looks killer. I'm going to have to try those tires next time! My junks already cleared for a 325/50/15 Radial, wonder how much work those will be to fit.

Thanks man, believe it or not, I originally fitted for 325's. The only thing different I had to do was shape the fender lip with a dozen different hammers, notch the control arms a little more, weld and box them in for strength, shape in inner portion of the fenderwell a little more.

I actually bought the headers and x from a member on here. It did not come with mufflers so i installed a set of 3" bullets and fabbed some turndows and welded them up.

I ended up with 2 1/4 coils removed from the front springs, 2 coils removed from the rear.

I have had eibachs in the past and coil overs and the SS I think has a nicer ride than all those. Not bouncy, nice and smooth.
