Taking the car to work tommorrow to corner weight and align it, I ordered a set of carbon fiber valvecovers along with a full engine bay carbon fiber kit. Should look good with the MSD coils

You can get the tanks out without dropping the driveline - but it will be a major PITA. If you TIG, you do not have to drop the tanks, BTW.

I did the "working outside in sub-30 degree temps" when I did the Frost King mod and stereo install a couple of years ago - never again!!

I tip my hat at you for your major wrench spinning in the Frozen Tundra

Sounds good, I pulled the roll bar out and im going to do a full custom setup when I get back from school.

Got my car on the rack today, my front camber was out -9 degrees



Got everything back into the green



Put on my Nitto 555rs aswell, they are worth their weight in gold, them along with the correct alignment made the car drive 100% better. When they are warm I can get down on it in 3rd which was impossible with the Pilot Sports. Not to mention the ground is frozen so when I get down south and it starts warming up theyll do very nice.



Im heading out tommorrow to finally get some vids of street pulls, this thing is a monster

Hey Jordan. This is the first I'm seeing this thread! Best of luck with your car. I PM'd you a couple of weeks ago after talking to Mike. I got my car back from him this week and it dyno'ed at 450 RWHP/426 RWT. I'll have to catch up with you when you get back from school to get a look at your car.

Good deal man, have fun with it and keep it tire side down

I got a chance to clean my car up today before I put it on the trailer to take to Atlanta tommorrow

I need to sit down with it for a day and detail it, ill have plenty of free time and I have a garage at school so ill save it for a nice 65degree day.









I put my MSD coils on too, it makes the engine bay look so much better, I cant wait until all my carbon fiber parts come in.
