YEAH!!! IT RUNS :D :D :D :D Sounds very cool but maybe louder than i want for street use. Had a place called back street performance in medina ohio do the theft deterent bypass pragraming. They also do dyno tuning and such. They were nice and somewhat curious. They mostly do V8 tuning and such. They had a 550 hp vette,2 late model gto's and a LS1 chevy powered nissan in the shop. My brand new fuel pump quit working 15 minutes after it was running. Drove to summit,exchanged it,got it on and had enough time to get around the block once before it stormed but it feels strong.

I love the look of the new gto (shouldnt be called a gto) and those 240's with the ls1's are insane.

Get some vids and pics up. Id like to see the finished setup.

Took car to wellsville a few weeks back for a shakedown. Found some concerns. Replaced all 4 shocks before i went and was much happier with the way it rode compared to last year. Noy quite enough upward travel from my tie rods so i moved them to the bottom of the knuckle and added bump stops. Also added bump stops to the rear,made a new adjustable shift rod(still can't make it shift as smooth as i would like). Also need differant wheels for the street. WAY to much offset and the car wants to push through turns. Too much scrub radius. Had to adjust rear torsion bars up it sat a good 2-3 inches lower when i was done then when i started. You can see how low its sitting in the picture.

the eng is wonderful and ran flawlesly. Its nice to have something that starts imediately and pulls from idle all the way to whatever? :D :D :D i need to get my tach working but i had to be hitting 6000/6500 rpm in 1st and never got close to that in second. I think i will want some ratio changes in the long run.
