Sorry I don't have any pics to post right now, but... The lower control arms are installed, as are the new billet motor mounts...

Alan has most of the electronics wired up... It's all run, just not terminated yet... We still have to install the hardware for a fer items...

The nitrous bottle heater is wired up and ready... as is the progressive nitrous controller...

Car is headed to the alignment shop possibly today, and then we will be putting her back on the dyno to check and adjust as necessary the A/F and timing with the new bigger turbos...

Once all that is sorted out, It's time to add racing fuel and see what we see, and then add in the nitrous...

As for the center console with the new trans, from the outside it should look factory, but the internals of it are drastically different... and the shifter feels amazing... just don't look under the skirt... lol...

Are you going to hit the dyno with the race fuel and nitrous as well? I hope my # was right!

I'll have a handheld tuner by the time it's all done, with three or four tunes... As she sits now, limited to about 12 lbs of boost, ( daily driving style) a tune for max boost on pump gas without nitrous, and a tune for max boost, nitrous and racing fuel...

Only if you get the wallet out first....

So, I stayed at the house today, again, but Corey called and updated me... My car has an appt tomorrow at the alignment shop, due to the LCA change out... when that's complete, she'll go back on the dyno to check everything out with the new turbo's, and then we'll put some miles on it and finish up the boost controller and nitrous stuff, and then see what we see...

We also got confirmation the Aeromotive stuff is on the way...

Yup, the LCA's are for the 17 inch wheels for the drag slicks...

We may go have the tires mounted to the wheels tomorrow... Depends on what else needs to be done first...
