Well the SS fired up Wednesday night.. needs a little tuning due to the cam and larger injectors (used my MAFT to lean by 10% for now).. brakes are bled and fluids topped off.. nothing fell off during the test drive so I guess I did ok.. For performance I did the following:

TR220 114LSA cam
Comp 918 springs
Hardened push-rods
LS6 ported oil pump
Katech timing chain
LS6 Intake
30# siemens deka injectors
Remote air-cooled PS cooler
Custom made teflon lined PS lines
Custom made Carbon coated teflon lined AC lines

And here are the shiny things I did:

Its funny that with as much as I did that this pic dosent look much different.. hard to show the layers of detail I did..


Head on shot.. chromed hood struts, STB and such:


Polished H2O pump, chrome hose ends, AN fittings, and lots of shiny bits:


Powder painted PS cooler (not used), good shot of H2O pump pulley and billet PS pulley:


Here you can see the powder painted brakes and the new blank HRE centercaps:


Thanks for everyone putting up with my "progress report" posts and for giving me some of these ideas. Now I just need to tune it, clean it and finish the final detail stuff.. oh and install my new Q-tec cutout.

Hey man how did you get that AC thing so shiny? Im going to assume you polished the hell out of it, but I dont have an idea of how its done. Is there a tutorial on how to polish parts like that?
