Its in and basically done. I have been without power since Friday till Tuesday night. Got my valve body for the trans from Coan yesterday, and I am waiting on my injectors from racetronix and my valve covers from Michigan Skip, to put the top together all the way. Have to do some wiring...waterpump, MSD, Fan Switch, and a pulse sensor from Dakota Digital for the speedo. So mostly it is the little crap to finish up. Changed speedos yesterday, lost the white face, but now my guages all match my new tach. Have the OTCV wire looms on the way, as well as my Lokar dipstick I have to put in. And a roll of heat tape for some of the wiring, those headers are aweful close in some spots, so the heat tape is insurance for the wires. Ordered the new tranny pan with a drain plug, and ordered the harness for the MSD. So hopefully this weekend I will have everything else buttoned up and awaiting the tranny. May 1st is still looking good for a running ride. But I still have the stop at the muffler shop, body shop, and a trip to speedworks.

Sounds like you are allmost there bud. I am going out today to start installing parts. I have a serpbelt system, water pump, coated headers, supercharger, boost gauge, oil pressure gauge, fuel pressure gauge, complete tune, inline fuel pump, oil cooler ect ect ect. I am hoping by Sunday to have the IROC running.
It looks like we are going to have alot of cars this year in the 10.0 and 11.0. Should be a interesting race season. Now we will see alot more breakage. I think the next couple of years the parts companys will be making some money. Maybe we should be buying some stock in the 9 bolt companys this year.
Q if you get bored waiting on parts come on over as I know I can find something for you to do.

If I ever get this thing to the point I can move it, I will definelty stop over again. I got my Lokar dipstick, tach mount cup, tranny pan, and heat tape yesterday, and racetronix emialed me today saying my injectors were in the mail. So it is coming along pretty quick. This weekend should be busy, get all those parts on, and swap the gears in my car with my brothers Firebird. I am still shooting for May 1st

Chris, I thought you were putting that charger on last weekend???
