Some changes are coming,new race seats being installed and new L88 hood.

After runing a modified tuned port motor i decided to go with a ls1,i started from a bare block and built it up from there.I kept all internals stock for now except for arp rod and main bolts.Im using a Ls6 intake and a 700r4 trans and 3.70 gears.I modified my hooker sidepipes and welded and cut them to fit ls flanges i got from GM.Ive have added c5 seats all autometer guages and 17x9.5 boyd coddington starburst billet rims.This winter ill be completely disasembleing it and starting over with some new plans for it.I do have a 125 shot of nitrous hooked up but havent run it on this motor YET.Jesse at wait4meperformance did the programming for the pcm,worked perfect fired up first time,thanks jesse.Ive recently got EFILIVE and started making my own changes.I also just installed a Lemans/L88 fuel filler to the car,ive always wanted one of these.
