but I was very surprised with how quick the car felt
I have been driving it for over a year n/a and the LSJ is a slouch with no boost (for obvious reasons)
I initially tried to turbo charge it with pieces of a garrett kit but it didn't work out how I wanted so I sold all the turbo crap and threw an M62 on instead. The car impresses me.
I'm looking to get it to the track in a few more weeks. I want as deep into the 13s as I can get it.
Hopefully the Harrop is in by then. gonna put a 2.75" pulley on that and go from there.

yeah theirs something intoxicating about a supercharger whine, I love the blow off of my turbo but everytime I get in my buddys SS S/C I always get him to floor it just to hear that sweet sweet sound

no e85 by me really... I'll be running 93 and meth injection (eventually) right now the car is straight 93.
I had timing up to 20* max with a 2.8 pulley on the M62. One of my injector o-rings took a vacation for a while and I was stumped trying to figure out wtf was going on. I backed the timing off to try and figure it out, now that I've fixed it I may up my timing back up to 20*
I'm on 60# injectors right now.. I'll probably be upping to at least 80s
also, this just got ordered
thanks for the love

No TVS yet, so I decided to throw these on while I waited.
Wilwood 12.19" rotor and 4 piston calipers. Have some clearance issues I'm working on tonight then it'll be good to go until the TVS shows up.

thanks guys. it's been a few years working on this car to get it to where it's at, and everything I've ever learned coming together in one project.
I love the results so far. There's a few more projects I want to wrap up then this car will be pretty much done save for internal engine work.
-convert to a dual master cylinder setup for brakes (hidden reservoirs)
-wilwood master cylinder to replace factory plastic (yuck) clutch master cylinder (hidden reservoir)
-6 piston caliper swap in front
-rear disc upgrade to better match the fronts
-rear sway bar
-finish interior (FINALLY)
-methanol injection
-body work and paintjob
I also had some interference problems with the TVS body hitting my threaded IAT sensor in the intake manifold, so I had to remove it for now. I have the car setup so that my IAT2 isn't sent to the PCM, it's only displayed on my dash so I can drive accordingly. I picked up a GM 3 bar TMAP that I'm going to install in it's place and use as dedicated boost and IAT2 signals for my dash.
It'll clean up my install quite a bit.
going to cut the nipple off the blower and tap it out to be used as my meth port. I don't have boosted brakes, so I don't need the giant vacuum source.
