I finally did it!!!!
Well, I finally made the step and got the car back. Up until this point, I had done a cam, reworked the stock heads, headers, midsection, and left the ti mufflers. The NA setup utilized a Haltech stinger intake (which is for sale now if you are interested).
Well, I decided to go FI and made the decision to do a procharger setup. I originally thought that 8# is what I wanted, but the system came with a 6.5# pulley. We went ahead and did the installation, and with 6.5#, the car's corrected dyno numbers were 550 hp and 476 ft/# torque. With 6.5#, I am really happy with the numbers. At this time the motor is a stock bottom end LS6 and I think I will leave it here for a while. I have never had a car that I can blow the tires off of 1, 2, and 3 gears. And no lie, in 4th and 4,500 rpm's, the car looses traction. I NEED NEW TIRES!!! LOL
Anyway, Xtreme Motorsports did a fantastic job and I wanted to post a picture of the dyno curve for you to look at. I will post more pictures as I finish the double din bezel, stereo, and engine compartment mods.
Enjoy
BTW, don't tell the wifey, she thinks the car just got a new clutch.

That is excellent! 
Just imagine with the smaller pulley in a few months to a year and you'll be at 620+ RWHP then it'll really be a blast to drive!
Ohhh yes it always gets tempting for more
Thanks,Matt

So how are you going to explain that loud whistling noise from under the hood, lets see, the air conditioning compressor is starting to wear out, no the widget is starting to go. Congrats on the new found power. You do realize that more is never enough..cheers

Well, as far as the cam goes, I had a blower cam in the car to begin with, so the procharger should be getting some benefit of it.
The wifey, well she isn't stupid, so she knows I did something. The good part to this wife is she really doesn't care. I got one of the cool ones that bought me a 42" LCD for the bedroom and a new stereo for Z for my Christmas. She is a keeper
Here is a picture of the hood liner
And here is the radiator shroud
I am working on the fuel rail covers and the interior work (double din bezel is finished and stereo install in a couple of weeks. I also have plans for an extractor hood if possible in the next couple of weeks.
Maybe this project will be complete by the end of February!!!

No not mine a ,buddy of mine in E'prise. By the way the Hood/Trunk mat looks pretty wicked to. So whats next? When you gonna bring that animal by the dealership? TTYL

Hey Larry,
It looks good huh? I have the car in Montgomery getting the hood repainted. I am painting the underside black like the trunk. The tune is good. I have a glitch at 2,000 rpms under light load, but I am going to take it back to see what he can do about it. It runs great at load and under WOT. I will bring it up there when I get it back for you to look at it. B

I couldnt get used to looking down to read gauges when I am WOT slamming gears going sideways half the time keeping an eye on my afr's. Mine are right in siteline and I naturally see them wihtout having to take my eyes down but they do look cool in the console.

Hey Rigby, they are 19" front and back (10" front and 11" back).
The rubber is 295/35/19 rear and 275/30/19 front
BTW, who wants to be looking at the guages when that thing is in boost??? That is why the wide band and recording function. I just record some runs and download the data.
