Need to tidy up the interior.... thinking about getting the dash flocked... and need some black carpet. I'm going to just rock the original green door panels for now. Headliner needs redone also. Added a Momo 350mm suede wheel with buttons most likely for rolling anti-lag/2 step and maybe some nitrous to spool it up quicker.
The CTSv seats are super comfortable. After driving it around for about 100 miles the spring rates in the coilovers are waaaaay too soft. Need to change them for something quite a bit stiffer. Not sure what rates are in there... will check this week. It drives soooo nice with the current springs it literally could be a daily driver. It is a bit low out back as entering/exiting angles driveways the rear tires are hitting the wheel wells and stopping the car in its tracks.
The steering seems quite slow... even though this is supposedly a Cherokee "quick ratio" box. Not sure what to do there.... Any suggestions?
The water pump for the intercooler isn't being triggered by the Holley Dominator so I need to get that working.... haven't made more than 1-2psi as there is no cooling of the intake charge happening and I'm on 91 octane and it has 59cc heads on the alum 5.3.... but it feels healthy so far. I'm guessing on 8psi it will make around 500rwhp or a touch more. On kill I'm shooting for 1000rwhp on e85.
