The only things missing on my part are the above items and wideband and boost pressure gauge. Thanks!
In a F.I. application I like running the LS7 maf over the LS3, yes. The stability of the LS7 maf is literally unmatched. I tune part throttle & driveability with whatever existing sensors stay on the car. I know some tuners have different opinions on this and want to use a wideband but I personally believe it's best to calibrate all your part throttle fueling corrections with the actual sensors that will be doing the corrections. Not a wideband that's going to be pulled out. I do refer to my wideband for certain things concerning part throttle and idle if there's any massive fuel swings, but for the most part I just require the car have good 02 sensors and use those. Of course, all WOT tuning is done via wideband.

Definitely get a boost gauge. A wideband isn't required since I have my own, but it's definitely a nice gauge to have so you can keep an eye on it. Being able to spot a lean spike in the middle of a race can mean the difference in driving home or getting towed home. Fuel pressure is another one you need to be able to watch too.

If you want to know my honest opinion, hate.

But its your car and ultimately doesn't matter what we like...its all about if you do!

I am also not a fan. I will say it does look better painted red than most people who leave them unfinished in the black. I've also heard many people complaining that the side louvers blow off going down the road, so be glad you didn't purchase those.

I am looking for a set of headers and cold air intake for cheap if anyone knows of some selling please let me know. I am taking the turbo kit off so also if anyone is interested in buying it I'm asking $2500

Thanks in advance!
Hey Ken! Sorry to hear about the accident. Hope you're doing okay.

Back to basic's. I think that's just what you need.

That Ashen Gray looks nice. Accents well. How's the metallic? Some metallic seems to push towards old school "flake" to me.

I finally got around to doing a before/after comparison (sort-of...not great pictures, but you get the idea). The car looks so much better (and still rides great) after Josh installed the lowering springs.

So, in looking forward to the Power Tour this year, thought I would post a series of good quality videos provided by Moter Trend (Hot Rod). They seem to be out of order, from the top, scroll down to find day one.

It's really nice in person. The "sparkles" aren't too big like the flake paint. It's really pretty!

I ordered springs and am going to order exhaust here in the next couple of days. I'm also going to black out the chrome and remove the "Camaro" lettering from the sides and talk to the wrap guys tomorrow. I finally have some time to do some mods!
