Thanks.
Sent the PCM to TunedByFrost, for a mail order tune. Hopefully it'll be back next week so I can get a real idle clip.
Need to pick up two bleeder screws for the front ls1 calipers, then I can finally bleed the brakes. For some reason it was a huge pain in the rear to find these two screws. There included in a variety pack, but didn't want to waste money on extra bleeder screws. Found hopefully the rights ones at Oreillys part number H9409-2.
Got some 3" piping for the y-pipe, flowmaster merge pipe, o2 bung, and a couple clamps. Still waiting on a vband clamp/flange. Where should I place the extra o2 bung? It'll be for WB tuning.

Got to work on getting the shifter modded. Main goal was to get away from using the stock thirdgen shifter cable, because of how horrible the replacement ones are.
The shifter from the parts car was in bad shape to begin with so i didnt have a problem hacking it up. I cut of the "button" that the 4th gen shifter cable snaps onto, and welded it where the thirdgens shifter cable tab was. Im gonna need to add two more gates for 1st and 2nd gear.
Its only tacked at the moment, and the sharpie marks are where the two gates will be added. Gonna open them up slowly.
Thirdgen tab drilled/cut off:

It looks like your ground clearance is reduced or is it just the prospective of the picture.
