Default Winter Project now Spring Project

Tried several times to get car from my garage to shop this winter with no luck ( lots of snow here in Massachusetts this winter.) Finally got it there
2 weeks ago.( shop has been busy too! )
List of mods
1) 2:73s out 3:42s in.
2) Ls 6 intake manifold.
3) BBK shorty headers.
4) " Mike Mercury " torque convertor.
5) Mildly ported 241 heads from Jeremy Formato with BT valve spring kit
6) Brian Tooley Cam 223/230 610/572 115+3
7) New lifters,new timing chain + gears,ported oil pump,lifter trays.
8) Vararam CAI and air bridge.
9) Harmonic balancer and bolt replacement.
Was going to do this in stages but shop owner talked me into doing the whole package at same time. As soon as it is done will be making an appointment to have it tuned. Can't wait to get it back!!!

Sounds like some very nice changes you're going to do to the car. Good luck getting it all done.
