Heck of a project you got going on. Looks like you have some great talent at a young age and a good mentor. Nice!

Just went back and reread it - didn't realize the GTO had the procharger already. You should be alright except maybe needing VATS turned off...

You should check the air-to-fuel ratio once you get it running though - to be sure the differences in the fuel system don't mess it up.

yeah I plan on having the rear o2's and cat's canceled so I was assuming fuel trims would be out of whack.

ordered the alternator today. Guy on ebay's selling brand new Camaro 98-02 AC Delco in box, $119:)

No, you can delete the rear O2's and cats without effecting fuel trims - fuel trims are off of the front O2's only. Rears are only there so the computer can tell if the cats are functioning properly...

Returned your PM on the tuning questions.

Also, wanted to tell you - today I tuned a 2006 GTO with a procharger (7# boost), a small blower cam, and headers... went an 11.64 @ 117.5 in a 4200# pig... get yours right, and it's gonna roll for ya :thumbsup:

When I was 14 I was working full time after school, getting grades in school and spent all my money on cars (and girls), and became a car builder.

My son Michael has been in the shop his entire life, started to build his first car when he was 14, Graduated school with great grades, he is 23 now and has amased quite a litte collection of cars all with his own earned money. And has been a car builder for 8 years now. The "Prodigy" in Prodigy Customs.

Tell you what man. You did not ask for anything, but good things come to good people. I am sure your not knocking down big bank at the gas station. Doing 40 hours and going to school is impressive.

This hobby / business has given me a lot. Every once in a while I see a project I want to get behind a bit and give back.

If you need something for this car, I will hook you up with some incredible deals. Were talking our cost or better on whatever you need for this car that we can supply, which should save you some real $$$$ and hopefully help get the car done sooner and better.

I will also send you a couple of our own products that will just kinda "show up" as a surprise.

In return, I get one picture of your smiling face with your done car for our wall!

Deal?

That is so F'ing cool!

Got somethings done tonight. Measured the front of the motor and found that it's 5/8th offset to the passenger side, so I have the tranny at center now. I have to cut the floor a little bit more, so that will be my plan for tomorrow night to get the tranny and motor at both 5/8th offset. Then I can weld the cross member. On a good note the headers almost fit now that the tranny is at center, so I'm hoping when it's in correct position that I will not have to notch a thing:woot: Here are some pics of the measuring

Got the power steering pump today! Still waiting on the brackets. Ordering a bunch of stuff from street and perfomance ( A/C brackets, compressor, idler pulleys, alternator pulley and all that). Got the crossmember done and it's all primed up. Will have pics of it up tomorrow.

Mark has been the only one I could find that makes a low mount passenger side alternator bracket for the LS style motors. Ordered everything today but I thank you for the recommendation! Got a nice package from Procharger today:D The blower bracket and P/S bracket came, started mocking it all up. They sent me no directions, so we're trying to figure it out the best we can from pictures. The crossmember is also in the car and looks pretty sweet aswell. Sunday my plan will be to get the headers to fit in.
