Finally put my shifter in. This had been laying around the shop since before i got the car, jsut kept forgetting! install was easy. The instructions were very good. I did have a rattle problem though. I ended up putting a nylon type washer on the jam nut to the shifter ball and I put teflon tape on the post that the handle installs too. Rattles are gone and it shifts perfect. Reminds me of the Pro 5.0 i have in my IROC. Very solid shifting and there is no mistaking that you are in gear. I now longer grind on fast 1-2 shifts.

Great story, very well written.

I am thinking of joining the e-force club myself. Love the wheel/tire combo. The tread patten looks great.

Not sure what your wheel finish but on my stock wheels, I waxed the finish and the brake dust is super easy to clean off.

Thanks! The rear tires are Nitto NT05R drag radials. The fronts are the stock tires that were on the rear.

Little update up top. Put on some trailing arms and swapped out those dusty ass stock brake pads!

wow great stuff... you have everything that i want on my ss!

Well if 530 RWHP wasn't enough, I installed a customer blower cam from JRE, springs and 65lb Injectors. Install went smooth. Limped it up to the shop for a re-tune. She didnt idle very well.

616 RWHP, 578 RWTQ

Just wondering? What was that smoke puffing out the exhaust on the top end?
Valves floating maybe?
I noticed it also on the earlier Dyno but it was not as intense.

lock · 11-30-2010, 05:49 PM

Those werent the final dyno runs so it was probably a bit rich on that one.

xxIRONWILLxx · 11-30-2010, 06:06 PM

Wow great job lock! Very classy build. Have you changed the rear axles yet?

I love those shots looking from the rear fender up the side. It just looks so muscular. What can I say? I'm an ass man!

firefighter1 · 12-02-2010, 10:55 AM

Nice ride! Congrats on COTW!!!

LeviG · 12-03-2010, 11:10 PM

It looks like you're trying to stay on the conservative side with the exterior, which is great because that car really doesn't need the wild body kits and huge deep dish wheels to look good. I think it would look awesome if you got just the GM factory front lip spoiler and left it black. It would look especially good with it lowered the way you've got it.

Me likey!
