First up is the LapTrax Track Active Controller Deluxe - http://www.laptrax.com/Products.asp and secondly, a Kenne Bell Boost-a-Pump - http://www.kennebell.net/accessories...boostapump.htm
I desperately need the TracActive Controller because I constantly forget to engage Competition Mode whenever I start Grond, and the BAP is for future boost.
I now have a fuel system, drivetrain, pulley and supercharger that far, far, exceeds my stock engine.
Time for a LS2 stroker
Here are the pics. I will post more pics once I install them.

Thanks! The LapTrax beeps twice and switches Grond into Comp Mode, which is exactly what I wanted. I need Traction Control off with the 3.90 gears and the blower otherwise it bogs or reacts in a unpredictable manner when I hit the loud pedal. I need Active Handling on for when I run out of talent and get myself into trouble
I always forgot to switch to Comp Mode, but now I no longer have to think about that. The LapTrax just does it's thing automatically. I love it.
It's like the Window Valet; now that I have it it, I cannot imagine life without it.
I will receive my eDead tomorrow - looking forward to that.
Stephen

But to spend $25k+ for a body kit, paint plus wheels/tyres is just not going to happen when I need power.... much more power
