For what it's worth, guys... 31 pounds of boost may be a lot on an LS-series, but there are those of us running more (try 40 pounds) on a lot older, antiquated "iron" and doing okay (setting B'ville speed records), thank you. :lol: I would assume such new "hitech" stuff could be made to live with it--31 pounds--for short periods. :yesnod:

All the best, no matter what ya run! :yesnod:

beautiful car. I am surprised you are attempting to maintain the stock drivetrain. So when (and it is a matter of When) this stock drivetrain falls out what do you plan to put in its place? Since you've gone so far as to reconfigure the frame, what about a 4 link, M&W 9" solid axle and a T400? Any thoughts? We all know from our own experiences that it only takes a fraction of the power your making to explode the rear diff case, which almost always takes out the output shaft on the tranny. In the mean time, DTE has a Stage 1 Diff/Tranny case reinforcement kit that uses eye bolt end links and plates to reinforce the two cases together. this could give you a few more miles of life on your stocker setup.

Great job. I love the car. did you oring the heads and block at least? coper head gaskets? just curious how the heads are going to stay on. :flag
