Default fine tuning and tweaking

Over the past few weeks I have been doing some fine tuning on the car since I have finished the main job of installing the new LS engine, dry sump pump system, GM ECM, new fuel system, T56 magnum trans, and LS9 ZR1 twin disc hydraulic clutch set up.


Here is some of the stuff I have been working on… I changed out the 2-1/2” tailpipes for 3”. There was a noticeable difference... the engine breathes better now and the exhaust tone is deeper.










I replaced the Bilstein shocks with the new Hotchkis Tuned Fox Shocks







The shafts on the Fox shocks are larger diameter than the Bilsteins




The new shocks feel good on the street... not sure how they will work on the track yet... we'll see this Friday.


I brought the car in to have the camber, caster, and toe set up. I went with 1.5 degrees negative camber, 5.5 degrees caster, and zero on the toe






Next... I installed some new bling!... Katech carbon fiber valves covers










Next up... the new Halon fire extinguisher set up, and new digital tach with shift light. It's nice to have all the hard work behind me now so I can finally enjoy the car...
