Fairly new member with ongoing sleeper build

I have already posted a thread over in the L61 engine technical discussion thread but I don't know how much y'all jump from forum to forum and I just noticed this "new members check in" forum. This post will be very similar to what I posted over there so I hope that is not taboo.

Anyway, here are the main components that I have installed so far:

Powertrain mods:
-M62 Supercharger (3.1" pulley)
-LSJ throttle body and intake manifold (Dual-pass intercooler)
-ZZP S3 heat exchanger
-650cc Bosch split-spray fuel injectors
-Magnaflow 2.5" cat-back
-ZZP 2.5" High flow cat
-ZZP Long Tube Header
-KY Kevlar clutch, pressure plate, and slave cylinder
-Custom CAI
Suspension and bake mods:
-Powell rotated motor mount (F23)
-FE5 struts with YYZ springs
-FE5 Alloy front control arms with spherical CABS
-24 mm front sway bar
-Powell hardcore rear sway bar and under car rails
-Front slotted rotors with Hawk performance ceramic pads
-Powergrid end links
Interior mods:
-AEM analog wideband and boost gauge
-TWM short throw shifter
-Custom racing pedal covers (configured to make it easier to heel/toe)





Up on stands with seats removed to install under car rails from Powell.




Installing UCR






Here the car is on jack stands utilizing the UCRs from Powell. The UCRs are great if you don't have a lift to get the car up in the air. Only have to us the jack once on each side and the rails rest nice and stable in the jack stand's cradles.




Here is a comparison between the Powergrid and stock end links.




Stock control arm bushing. Lots of play and this one is torn.




Spherical TCAB from Powell installed on the latest TC FE5 control arm. Noticed a significant reduction in torque steer as well as elimination power hop. I also have Powell rotated transmission mount installed so that helps as well.




Control arm comparison




Sway bar comparison between SS/TC and my lowly LS stocker.




Front cradle assembly with newly installed goodies.






Long Tube header and down-pipe with cat from ZZP.
