Here is mine. I still have a lot of cleaning up to do. ie. coat the headers, clean the engine bay, get my heat shield back from the coaters, clean the under side of the car, replace air dam, struts, rear end, slicks, etc... It will run before spring though.



New brake system is fall's project.
From what I understand, as long as you stay outa the boost on a daily basis, the gas mileage is pretty good.

This really has nothing to do with appearance and detailing, so to the Power Adder boards it goes

I've got two of 'em.
I've gotten 20mpg on a trip this fall. But I wouldn't run boost if you are concerned about 'how it does on gas.'

It will be done before spring. I will with this kit and my Camaro in the sig when I get it back.
Unfortunately it's all still like the pictures. Separate that is.
I do have a bigger IC for it now though, and the valve covers are on, heh.
I'm getting REALLY antsy now.
I'm honestly getting tired of my use-to-be 11-second 4 banger.

Well, count me in too. Gets about 12 miles to a gallon of 100LL mixed with 93 octane when I am really pushing it.
Comming real soon.... new twin 2.5 inlet carb hat, which will eliminate the T in my piping. Now I need to buy another bov. Still is making awesome power though.
Still thinking of what to do with the LS1.....?

^^^^ Its that a intercooled BBS setup? Looks bloody nice.
Heres mine. Custom RHD headers originally supplied by Ed over at BBS and then modified slightly to fit by myself.


Needs an intercooler

Sorry to get off topic a bit, but when you set your radiator back for the IC, did you just off-set the top and angle it back? or did you move the bottom back as well?
I really like how your setup turned out dude.

I had to move the bottom back as well. I had to notch the lower rad. mount and moved it as far back as possible. The bottom is about 1/8" from the steering box.
I'm in the process of installing a BMR K-member, A-Arms, Coil Overs, and Wilwood Brakes. I also had a lower compression motor built with all fordged internals, custom grind Cam, with Dart Heads and a Holley Stealth Ram intake w/58mm Throttle Body
