Car moves under its own power, first and reverse. Car is running open headers right here, and was way louder in person than the video. My girlfriend was actually jaw dropped and scared by it, as she was standing right behind the car~ Still need to open up the segment for the automatic transmission in the ECU, start tuning etc. Very little left to do in the car before its ready to rip.
I have done a ton of this work myself, including assembling the motor, helping to mount every single thing, pinning the ecu and more [Reply]
Finished up everything tonight but the tune, wired and ran the wideband and the trans temp gauge, my friend made some perfect aluminum mounts which we used to mount the guages in the vents in the dash. Finished up some very minor other odds and ends.
Tomorrow night the car is going to drive. Basically just going to do the segment swap (change ECU to be able to control the 4l80) tune on it a little and let it rip.
Exhaust shop Wednesday with more tuning and car should be ready to break the ten bolt real quick~ [Reply]
Put my 2nd full set of tires on the car and the 3rd set of back tires. 15K miles. I know it's my fault for the 3rd set on the back. But anyone in here know why the set on the front would go bad at 15K. Dealer is telling me these high performance car and tires are just like that. Bs? Or true? [Reply]

What are you running, as in which tires? And are you going staggered so no rotations? [Reply]
