Hey Bill, sounds like we are both on the same track. Mine has been parked for 4 years and I am planning to get the rebuild started as well.

Anxiously waiting my UMI order too;
SFC, Torque arm, LCA relocators
building custom LCAs and panhard to go with it.
Holley AFPR
Hooker 2055s with AIR removal
clutch for the T5 - anyone have brand suggestions? (What fits best) Too many clutch burn outs with the stocker
Undercarriage cleanup and repaint
Del-A-Lum front control arm bushings
PST swaybar bushings and end links
MSD Digital 6+, plugs, wires

Then, start saving for next year..... supercharger

Got my LS1 running a week or so back FINALLY!! Never thought this project was gonna end. I did soooooo many other mods too that just piled on it never ends.

Runs great though. Sounds pretty vicious with a nice mellow idle to boot.

As for that sled? Ya been there a few times myself. Consider yourself lucky dude i know of many others who were not.

I took advantage of a few nice days this week to get my car up on jackstands. Time to remove the rusted over screws securing my GFX...

I'm looking at adding some NOS to my 383 and getting my rear to hook not just light up the rubber.

Shoot, sorry for the late reply, NA/stock it was 175-180/234 (Been too long since I lost my dyno results) and put down 246/303 with the boost jumping back and forth from 2-6psi. Stupid thing, is that it basically too two years to realize that I am missing a brace that goes from the back of the alternator to the exhaust manifold, and since you can actually see the whole unit flex forward at upper RPMs, putting that brace (with the help of some track bite on the belt) on should finish all of my belt woes. It ran a best pass of 13.57 @ 101 with a 1.94 60', wonder if a 12.99 is possible with the missing 6 psi?

Not bad for just sticking a hair dryer on a stock LB9.

How have things been going with your Z Tony? Any new times for this year?

Think u mean GTA

My times really havent changed much which is a good thing since I added a new much heavier moser 9" rear with a change to 3.70 gearing. Got a 12.8 last saturday but still waiting for my headers before I start my AFR head and cam change, might just end up doing it next winter

Yep, that's exactly what I meant.

Good choice on the diff. There's two Canadian members who I've sent the Moser 9'ers for their thirdgens (well, technically one picked it up) and I am looking forward to the 60' beatings that will be handed out compared with what the little 10 bolts will handle.

What headers did you go with?

Well there in, I went with Stainless Works headers 1 3/4" long tubes with 3" collectors, same ones that Hawks sells. Kind of taking a chance that they will fit my t-56 setup but main reason i went for them is cause they look like they have pretty good ground clearence and looks like they will fit perfict on my heads
