love it! also love the paint scheme

I haven't dyno'd since last Thanksgiving and that was 363rwhp. That was before the FAST intake and TB, and still untuned.

HUGE UPDATE!!! Well I'm back. Went to St Thomas for when they opened the gates tonight. 630 tires were smokin' and people were racing. Not a lot of cars out but tons of bikes and a few FAST sleds too! My night was awesome. First and foremost, drove there and back under my own power. Woot. Always a bonus. I did 5 runs and called it a night. 1st run R/T .1952 60' 1.7799 (OMG- unfucking real!) 330ft 5.0467 ET @ 594ft 7.2017 1/8th 7.6768 1/8th MPH 94.72 1/4 ET 11.7738 (OMG UNFUCKING REAL!!!) 1/4 MPH - 119.98 (OMG!) WOW. I nearly shat myself. That's .56 FASTER than two wednesday's ago and another 3MPH! UNREAL I msg'd my friend and he told me to back it up or he's calling it timing error. Dick. 5th and last run of the night .0070 1.8740 5.1481 7.7627 95.62 11.8288 120.97 (fastest trap EVER for the car) Eat that. ALL trap speeds were between 119.98 and 120.97 for all 5 runs. Slowest time of the night was 11.87, 11.86, 11.84, 11.82 and the 11.77 Consistant! I'm PUMPED!

I honestly was waiting for a punchline in hopes that was a joke. Un-freaking-real. Glad you are ok to say the very least.

I'll PM you later about HVAC, I'm just on my way out the door in a moment but wanted to post two pictures from last night Shingles are ready to go on. Woot. Finally got a pic without a lift truck in the way also which was nice lol.

225's would be good enough for street driving IMO. I have 245/45/16's out back (yes they rub on big dips in the road) but if I ever get the fenders rolled they should clear. My drag radials are only 235/60/15's and they hook decently well for a street legal tire. As said above compound over width, I'm down grading the 245's to 225 R compound when my tires are done as I have a set of Hankook Z211's or some odd name like that in the basement. WAY stickier than the Sumitomo's I have now (200 rating).

Simply wow. Looks great!

Much to my excitement the HVAC rough-ins started yesterday (thats my field) and so far things are looking good. I was told the shingles got dropped off on site today so I will be heading there tonight to take a look at them and make sure things are going to plan. Scott where's the meeting this week? and when? I'll try to drop by if it works with my schedule

My fuel system runs at almost 60psi and I'm running -10 supply to pump -8 to FPR -8 to rail and -6 return. This is for my LS1 and am running an aeromotive A1000 pump. I went over kill but I also probably will be swaping to a 400+ci motor while being FI'd.

Ya its pretty exciting especially since we (mainly my wife) designed it ourselves So far its coming out to be as good or better than I expected it to be. I'm not one to be able to imagine what a 2D drawing will look like at all whereas my wife is so for me it was pretty hard to get excited for this until I saw walls going up etc. Now that it is I'm pretty pumped. The garage is going to be sweet I am putting extra insulation in for it, as well as sound insulation for the entire main levels ceilings as well as for the bedroom walls upstairs. I'll also be pre-wiring my home theatre stuff in too. There are def some benefits to knowing the builder well.

Cost, not sure as I'm not the GC on the house, its being built through the company my wife works for All in all not too bad when its all said and done though, although I try not to look at the price tag too often. It'll be under 500 with the hoist included for sure or else I'll have to have a stern talking to my wife

Some of you may know I'm building a house as I had posted some questions previously about it but here are some pics as to our progress in the last month give or take. My half the house is on the left, the wife's is on the right The 4th pic is the view out the window in my garage Not bad for in the city ! What's not shown (wife has the camera) is the 2nd bay is vaulted to 14'-15' and they put 36" sonotubes 5' deep for footings for a hoist for me, woot!

Great post. I laughed more than a few times. Just what I needed.

From what I've read and such that is a baby cam for an LS1, most people give me a hard time for my 224/224 .567/.567 on 114 LSA as they call it small. If its out anyway I'd drop a different cam in, but thats me. I guess it depends on power goals and such though.

I'm running 235/60/15 Mickey Thompson Drag Radials I wasn't able to get much heat into them as they didn't even put water down for burnouts and they hadn't prepared the track at all for the test and tune night as was evident by the spinning down track. I need to learn to launch it harder and get heat into the tires. The tires are basically new with only 10 passes on them and two trips to the track of milage (50miles each way) so they are still new. More fuel, hot tires and away I go.

Well on Wed I went to Toronto Motorsports Park with my OQCGP club and had some fun. Got there around 730ish and went to check in. Got my shoe polish # and turned around and went into the lines. Straight of the street, full pressure DR's, full interior, jacket, my work stuff and me with a helmet. First run blasted off a 12.34 @116 with a staggering 2.0 60' Thats over 3tenths faster than last year and 7MPH faster!! Hot lap 12.31 @116.9 2.0 again runs 3-6 had issues I did cut 3 sub 2.0 60' times when they gave me some water in the box so I could warm the DR's up. Got down to a 1.85 but the car was missing HUGE at the top of 1st and 2nd, like 1000RPM drops then it'd pull like a scalded cat again. ran 12.5 arg. My problem you may ask, fuel. I was basically dry which is optimal for racing, unless your fuel pump feed is at the front of the tank and not the rear. Pump was sucking air, cutting out then when the nose dropped fuel would get to the pump and it'd pull again. Awesome eh? Mental note, have more gas in the car and go run 11's in street trim. Some of the people that were watching were saying that they could hear me breaking loose in 2nd and 3rd gears on the shifts. I could definately feel the car squat slide on the shifts which was nutty all on its own. This track experience is night and day from what the car was like last time. I was way less nervous and the car felt 100% better. The track wasnt prep'd super well but I still went home with almost every run (even with cutting out) being faster than last year. All this and the car hasn't been tuned for the intake and TB that I'm running now. Good times. Next time i'm going for 11's come hell or breakage

Well we have changed a few things in the interior and I didn't like how the shift light was wired up and we didn't have a volt gauge in the car and little things so we made up a new panel so everything is in sight and matches the rest of the interior. Clean, Simple, useful. All we did was cut some wonderfully useful scrap MDF to the shape of the opening, a brace across the back and then cutout the holes for the parts. Amanda got out the left over leather from the seats/door panels and wrapped it up for me to match. I think its pretty slick and changing the stereo has never been easier. We still have room for another guage or some switches which is nice as well for down the road Just thought I'd share something we did this spring/summer. Jason

Just go to the gym 3 times a week and the lockout is a breeze. Ours isn't wired up properly and my wife even has a system for shifting into reverse. Wire it up for ease of use though, for me its a theft deterant

i'd say thats pretty much normal give or take, esp with that oil in there. I'm a tad higher on my ls1 but run 10w30 synth.

Either have I, wow. Nice job on breaking it well.

Nom nom nom.

Here it is for you http://www.modern-motorsports.com/xtrainfo/z31-cv-conversion.pdf

lol orange is quite possibly the WORST colour for coverage. Yellow is up there too... many many coats may be needed lol

Wow, yet again I need to say that has fantastic-awesomeness written ALL over it... You are using stock glass if I'm not mistaken?

sorry for being curious.
