Also slid the motor a little closer to its final resting place.

Scary stuff to have the front end that high up!

It moves!

Between family time and work obligations I was able to bust my ass and get this thing buttoned up!

RawSpeed over in Butler did the exhaust and intake for me. Jake does AMAZING work!

The intake is 4" aluminium with an LS7 MAF.

The exhaust is Sikky 1 7/8" stainless steel headers to 3" stainless steel duals to a "Y" that merges into a single 3.5" stainless steel resonator then goes to 3.5" titanium and ends with a 3.5" titanium resonator with a slash cut to end. It sounds amazing and cannot wait for more seat time.

Late Model Throttle got it aligned yesterday and will be tuning it today/tonight!

So close to victory! You will need to show me some tips on how to spend money on car stuff without being killed to death by a wife

So......... this has been a super cool project. Looks bad ass but. Can you do a burnout????

[Jdesign]

I think he just Zing'd ya

Dropped the rear an inch so Earl can start talking to me again!  Lol.

I've been driving it a lot and not taking many pictures.  I think I have about 350 miles on it so far.  Speedo gears are broken so there's that.

Oil has been changed once after initial start/warm up, around 30 miles and again around 150 miles. 

Added a moroso vacuum pump that I'm starting to learn and work the bugs out of.  If I took it for a track day I feel the catch can would fill up and overflow in 20 mins in high RPMs.

"The Black Pearl" does grip and go and is a blast to drive.  Can't wait to get the tune sorted out with a "new" ECU.  The current one locked out after one flash when it was on the dyno.

Burning gas,

Good to see you and glad to have seen this monster too!

If you took it out for a track day you could probably just stay in 3rd the entire time!
