The Injen intake has been pretty good to me, I have no complaints but I do want to couple it with a scoop from either JRE or Phastek when I am brave enough to cut the bit of plastic required for it. Hell might even make an extension ramp for the scoop.


The brown timing seal is from Fast Fish, don't know if it does any better than the OEM but figured it wouldn't hurt to buy seeing how the one that came with the non-VVT cover looked kinda substandard.

Rotors are the AC Delco Severe Duty/Performance label which are rebranded Raybestos R-300 rotors. The EBC Bluestuff NDX are amazing on the street.

The Goodridge lines and Wilwood fluid has already been put in, pedal feel is drastically better than what it was when I purchased the car.

Smith Brothers bronze bushings on new GM rockers.

Some of what I collected or already installed since October so far is attached below(Erased cam serial number from the photo).

Currently waiting for my Circle D Pro Series TC and my ATI Super Damper before opening up the engine.

Eventually the cylinder heads will be next, still considering what type of intake and exhaust valves I want to go forward with since I have doubts about the L99/L92 factory valves.

Shoutout to acammer for the lifter selection advice.
Merry Christmas to you!!!! lol. Time to get busy I guess. And yeah, great choice on the "caddy lifters"!! Now you're set for the 7000-7500 rpm range. Have fun with all that, and good luck!

Finally got my custom floor mats today, didn't waste any time installing them!! They look a lot better in person than the pics show. I'm impressed with them, perfect fit too!! I did forget to take a pic of the back seat ones, I'll get that when I take her back out again this weekend.

Appreciate it. I just want this part to be over with so I can get to saving for driveline and suspension parts at this point.

I'm about 12K deep into this delete/upgrade and it will probably be another 20 more until I'm exactly where I want the car to be.

I'll probably include those purchases and showcase them for feedback and suggestions in this thread.

Well check out their link, you can get just about any color combo from them, or a solid color. They are VERY well made, and fit just perfectly! And it only yook me about 10 minutes to install them. My buddy bought a set just like mine for his 2014 red 1LE, and they also look great! Ordering the trunk mat next to match..

I thought about getting a painted cover, but just couldn’t bring myself to pay the extra this time around. This definitely made a big difference IMO getting rid of the faded, broken stock one.

WOW Wayne, that looks tremendous. It goes great with the interior upgrades you made last year. I saw these but wasn't sure about the way it would stay attached. Your pictures took care of that, great pics. Having the Bright Yellow, I have to be care about how much yellow I put in the interior. The Katzkins for the seats are on order. Lokks good as always 1JEWLDSSRS.

Thanks Joe! Yeah they just sit down in the foot well so perfectly, and the edges tuck under the seat slide rails front and back with a tiny bit of bending and persuasion, and there are a couple little tabs on the edges that tuck up under the plastic trim pieces at the door bottom, and the console side pieces. Snug as a bug in a rug as they say!! lol. When I drive with them in I place a folded color matched hand towel under the heel of my foot so as to not "mess them up", but they say they are scratch resistant. I really love them. Set off the interior big time now!! Haven't been to any shows yet with them in.

Here ya go Joe, I don't think it would be too much yellow for you, looks like the black would be also just enough for your interior.
