Tiger Shark progress report...
Here is another installment of the Tiger Shark project.
Phase One I did a long time ago...
Blackwing Air cleaner,
Bassani X-Pipe,
Borla Stingers,
Baer Eradispeed Rotors front and +1s rear
Phase Two is all about more power and upgraded suspension.
From front to rear...
LS6 Intake,
NGK TR 55 plugs and GM Hotwires,
Stainless Works Longtube Headers,
GM 3:42 Rear Diff.,
Protouque 2800 stall converter.
Also Z06 Shocks and sway bars then lowered it to stock bolt limits.
And just for fun a dual-gage pod on the "A" pillar to watch Vaccuum and EGT.
Phase Three is the Tiger Shark front and rear fascia. Also the "Hot and Cold" hood from Eckler's. I'm also installing the GT Foctory 'Diablo' vertical door hinges. Z06 rear brake ducts.
Thursday the car is actually being assembled and they tell me it should be back on the ground Friday evening. I can see the finish line now.

New pics...
Progress has slowed to the detail stage and that will take another day or two. I may get it back Wdenesday to road test it and shake it down then give it back for the final details.
