Default Starting the build

I'll get some pics up later today since parts are already showing up

Got the car in June of last year and put kooks lt's and non catted x on it already had a borla stinger setup

Now I'm doing
Driveline: Mccleod RST clutch, trans brace, pfadt motor and diff mounts

Engine: prc springs, ls7 lifters, upgrading the stock rockers trunions, 160 thermostat, more than likely a ecs style blower cam from Scoggin dickey

Power adder: nitrous plate kit (blower will be coming later this year or early 2013)

Now trying to decide on a set of wheels without spending a ton of money since I drive the car all the time right now and don't want to get anything stupid expensive so if something happens I won't want to kill someone

Best of luck with the build! If you would like an actual ECS blower cam rather then one like it from Scoggin, (great parts guys, but they would not know our cam specs) feel free to give us a call.

You're going to love this clutch. I've got it on my blown Z and can't believe how well it hooks up with better than stock clutch feel (slightly heavier but with much better engagement feel).

Don't forget a fresh slave and the Tick Adjustable Master while you're in there. Tick Performance just introduced some smokin' package deals on everything you'll need!

(Disclaimer: I don't work for Tick but am a very satisfied customer...)
