Im starting this mostly to help myself keep track of what I'm buying and any ideas I may have.
I purchased the car in July of '15 and its taken me until now to get it running reliably (knock on wood)
Previous owner was not too nice to the car. They obviously hit something. none of the tires matched etc.
Right after i Bought it:
The car had a full bra on it, I left the hood bra on to hide the damage on the hood.
The car now:
Thanks to Staged07SS for the awesome wheels. Pictures dont do them justice.
So far the only mod is a ZZP intake.
To do list:
Install TTR trans mounts
Replace hood with this http://www.andysautosport.com/produc...s__104745.html
Locate a GMPP exhaust manifold
Full Exhaust(not sure which brand yet)
TC shocks and struts with YYZ springs.
Dual pass, option B, Upgraded heat exchanger
Pulley, injectors
Meth injection
Dyno Tune
Its actually cheaper right now at Andys. I'm just waiting for my refund check to buy it. I'll also have to put some hood pins in. I dont trust the latches on these aftermarket hoods.
I want to eventually run a 2.7 pulley, For now I'm just gonna stick with a 2.9. Will those injectors be overkill for a 2.9? will they be enough for a 2.7?

Whenever I pulley down I'll be in the same boat. I want to go with a 2.9 but I've read 42# injectors may or may not be maxed out. I don't really want to go with 60s since I've read that they don't idle that great (but some people say they are fine). I saw that same injector thread but then it seemed like people didn't have the correct tables to tune with the 50s. Sorry, I know this doesn't help you any but maybe someone else will chime in.

They aren't.
42's will support 300+ whp. My car is the proof and so was the time attack ss/sc.
Thanks for that. I believe you're one of the people I've seen that said before that 42s were ok. Sorry if I hijacked your thread OP.
Just note that you must maintain your fuel system with more stringent standards when pushing the 42's as hard as me. Replace fuel filter often, clean injectors, use top tier fuel, etc.

My dyno guy would not let me use 60's. I tried. Chassis Dyno, Custom Car & Performance Tuning in Chandler, AZ
One of the best tuning shops in the West said I was not near maxing them out. Could be the aftermarket regulator, pump and filter are why. IDK but along the lines you mentioned I was told by an Indy car engine builder to put Lucas fuel injector cleaner from truck stops in all of my fuel. More power because it helps it burn all of the fuel and since it's an oil it keeps everthing clean and smooth working. 5 cars, 4 motorcycles, two outboards ,two chainsaws , pressure washer, generator, tractor, weed eater and what ever I forgot all have gotten Lucas for 15 years. Would you believe I have not had a single carb problem in all those years? When the chain saw and pressure washer start right up on two year old gas it's becomes a no brainier. A gallon for 28 bucks treats 400 gallons. Walmart sells gallon jugs as well. Buy this stuff. Lucas Fuel Treatment 10013-1 - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing
P0128 keeps popping up. Coolants only getting to 130-140s.Im gonna check alldata and see what they have for diagnosing.
Thermostat may be stuck open and not allowing the engine to operate at normal temp which is about 180 thus throwing that code. Change thermostat and you should be fine

That's what I was thinking. Only once this year has the temp gone over 180.
So I installed these new headlights about 6 weeks ago. I noticed a few days ago that the passenger side has some condensation built up inside. We've had some pretty rainy weather lately. What can I do about this?

You will need to take them apart and re seal them.
Damn. I opened up the vent on it and parked it in the sun. It's gone for now but I'm sure it will come back.
Yeah if you don't reseal it and it keeps coming back a lot of times the condensations will tarnish/erode the reflective coating inside your headlight assembly over time.
