I'm sure the owner will be taking it to many local events. We are trying for Goodguys Pleasanton in two weeks, but we'll see. I'd rather do everything right the first time and not have to rush and "get back to it" after the show. Been down that road and its just not worth it. For sure Goodguys in May though.
We are on the home stretch and will be test driving next week. Engine is running and sounds very good with 3" stainless tubing, stock tips, Pypes "violator" mufflers and ........Random Technologies 100 cell cats!!! We decided to keep the modern technology theme going in the exhaust dept. as well and figured why not?
Also pictured is the hidden fuel lines going to and from the tank to the internal Bosch pump with custom fabbed internal "surge tank".
The Isis is finished exept for some last minute programming, the electric windows(activated by tipping the stock window crank) can also be activated via the key fob through the Isis as well as door locks, lighting, horn, security and lighting. Interior lights soft fade is also a nice touch. The bank of relays on the battery tray are for locks and windows.
We finished the last minute details, including programming of Isis to roll windows down with remote and lock/unlock doors, soft fading interior lighting, also made "CHEVELLE" logos for coil covers and misc. tuning. After putting about about 50 miles on it, this thing is a beast! it drives smooth and civilized, but with an extremely flat torque band and 600 hp, will roast the drag radials at will. corners good and is a very comfortable ride. The only thing not done was paint. I think we acheived our goal of looking like a stocker pretty good. The customer picked it up and was very pleased. Future plans call for a cold air intake and 3.73 rear gears to replace the 3.08s. We also will be running it at sac raceway in the near future. (mid to high 11's?)
