I need to get back to the lighting mod, but been a little busy.

Thanks. And I like their motto on their site; "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten" ....so true

Staying with the stock cam for now. Too much work to convert the L99 to an LS3. I also think this will have no problem getting me to 11.0. I don't want to go lower than that...cause I don't want to go with a cage.

Ah true!

I'll probably just have them do it.

Just remembered I have video of you demo run. The loud exhaust shut down the camera, but I see how much it caught. I'll check it out tonight.

Joe - Don 't think I've told you, but your build has been inspiring. I admire the ability you have to work on your car yourself. I know you've enjoyed it and you have done a great job!

If you got something, cool. If not, don't worry.

I will be running cats until I get ready to head to the track, then I'll swap them out. I got both straight pipes as well as cats. I hate the smell without cats, plus I'm hoping it will quiet the pipes down a little. What about you?

Brolik10 · 02-01-2012, 06:49 PM

I'm running HF/cats now and will probably continue to run them. However, I believe one of them is on its way out now.. I'm gonna have them checked friday.. I'll never hit the 600 hp benchmark so I will keep them.. lol Time will tell.

Thanks! Yeah, sure have been busy on it.

I'm working on the engine bay...dressing some things up! Thanks to Nathan for starting this thread: Project Cleaning the Clutter in Our Engine Bay

Here I have done the toilet mod:
Noise in the front, look here....might have something for you, +fill strutplate gap!

Also installed the LSR Performance billet strut covers.

I have rewired the injector/coil harnesses, painted the connectors black, painted the coil packs, and installed the coil packs with ARP 12-point black oxide bolts. You can't really see the wires through the braided sheathing without the flash. I'm still waiting on my new plug wires which are on back-order.

Stay tuned for more under-the-hood updates in the coming couple of weeks.
