Kjkjr27's IOM Build [COTW 9/16/13]

I went and bought a Styrofoam board and cut pieces and used that to wedge the battery in place and hold it there, haven't had and issues with it moving. This is the best pic I have sorry.

Been slacking a bit so should prob update my build thread with the latest mods I installed. Over the winter one of the mods I bought was a DSS Al 1-piece driveshaft. The install wasn't horrible just a little time consuming. Only trouble I ran into was installing the u-joint to the transmission. But once that was done everything else was a breeze. There is an overall noticeable difference in how the car performs, especially after switching to the next gear. Much smoother transition. Now was it worth upgrading on my car? Prob not but with the goal I am trying to reach every little bit helps. The only downside to swapping shafts is that it added 1.8lbs back onto the car but that's not that big of a deal. Here are a few pics.

The next mod I did was I swapped out my Stage 3 Ported LLT intake manifold and spacer for a ported LFX intake manifold. This mod was a little more complicated with the additional parts that are needed to go along with the actual intake manifold. Once swapped though the LFX intake weighs a total 11lbs lighter than the Al LLT one. That wasn't the only reason I swapped. The LFX one flows much better than the LLT one as well as doesn't heat soak as easily (or at all for that matter). The look on the intake is starting to slowly grow on me although.

I am kind of surprised that it added weight, but it sure does look good.

Done any drag racing yet?

No I haven't yet unfortunately. Been so busy with work that I haven't had a time to get to the bottom of those injector issues.

Probably answered somewhere else, but what else does it need?

That's needed for the LFX manifold?... I know magnum is running the manifold but obviously we cant run the UD pulley with the SC.

O no, thought you meant to finish upgrading my driveline,

[kjkjr27]

Little update: for Christmas I got a set of the vitesse paddle shifters and today I finally got around to installing them haha. They look sexy in black, however might remove them and paint the "+" "-" IOM, prob should have thought of that before installing, o well

I vote IOM for the paddles! Before tends to be a bit easier but it happens. I love mine in IOM so I think you will too.

[kjkjr27]

Well I think I'm gonna leave the paddles black, just paint the plus and minus symbols. I do plan on getting the speedo and steering wheel bezels painted IOM so don't want too much IOM in that area
