unfortunately no... I had some web-design work I had to get done so that's been taking a lot of my time.

I also need to fill my propane tank since the garage is heatless at the moment.

I've got more work to do tonight but I'm hoping I can get back to working on the car wednesday.

Heyy mike i was on ls1tech just looking around and i came across this.. not sure if you already bought launch control or not but i thought i remember you saying something about it before.

thanks for the link.

I was looking more for traction control than launch control (though I did want launch control functionality) the Lingenfelter unit is really just a glorified rev limiter.

Traction Control is for sissies!
I forget since well your thread is long and if not epic are you upgrading the suspension in the rear to handle the power if so how and with what? If the gods favor me enough I might be attempting this in the future hehe.

I'm not doing anything to the suspension in preparation for the LS, though eventually I'll probably go with a custom setup using konis and hypercoil springs since most drop-in setups wont work right for the new weight distribution.

I request that Mike and I have parking spaces next to each other so our wonder twin powers may activate properly....

[twistedsymphony]

Agreed...

James and boys stopped by today and made a new brake line...

I modified the power steering reservoir bracket to clear the intake and we battle planned the power steering lines as well as the exhaust.

We have some awesome plans for both

my goals for this week:
-order the parts to build the exhaust
-finish up the heater hoses
-put up heat shielding for the heater hoses and brake booster
-re-wrap/tuck the ABS wiring
-drop in the passenger's side heater

my goals for next week:
-polish and mount the taillights
-pull the driver's side fender liner so we can mount the power steering cooler.
-install the radiator
-install the e-fans
-make some serious progress on (finish?) the wiring harness

Is this car hitting the road this year or what?
