Next week! Enjoy it. That's a healthy pile of parts.
I was quoted $2K out the door including cat-delete and crimp removal. They're going to try to get it done with tune in 3 days - so fingers crossed! As long as there are no major surprises I will gladly pay someone for this amount of work.
 
Congrats on the upgrades!! We never got a chance to meet up at Cincy Speed. Only thing to note is that Tracey will tune your V on the conservative side if it's your daily unless you tell him not to. I've got pretty similar mods (more aggressive cam) and I dyno'd at ~640 rwhp. Also, I didn't see injectors on your list...

Thats exactly what im after - conservative tune. ID850s are in there.

I also will probably spring for swaintech coated headers in a few months to see the difference from cat - deletes.
 
How much for everything shipped to 77494?

I guess that means I have to start buying my mods and not waiting for you to sell off again.

Ha, just kidding with you, congrats and hope it ends up fun.... I am sure it will.
 
I'll take the Varimax pump. I started a WTB thread in the FS section.
 
Ive never seen that cam manufacturer before. +1 on lt1z cam selection. Im very happy with mine!
Yep - mine is a Cam Motion from Matt as well.

TriTexan will not be pleased of the offensive rumbly noises!
Ah not so fast there buddy! I don't mind loud cars, as long as they aren't MINE lol! Besides, us "OBM Wagon with lt1z Cam Motion Cam, ZL1 lid, Track Attack HX, and 10.5 lower" guys gotta stick together!

The only thing i left out of this photo was HP tuners and the wad of cash im going to spend on labor!

Sweet baby Jesus that's a hot mess pile o' parts! But are we honestly sure you're finally gonna lose your V-ginity and pop the mod cherry on that ride of yours? I'll believe it when I see actual dyno footage...

The trick was for me to start selling the take-off parts ahead of time; now im obligated to go through with it.

I just hope i have better luck than the custom wheels, the spring swap, the ported blower and so on... lol!

Baseline pulls: 490/455 first run and 495/460 to the wheels on the second. Bone stock '13 MN6 other than an Airaid on factory 19's.

M6 right?
Yes.

And on the bright side, my time table has already been extended by 2 days due to another build having issues. Good thing i had... a two day reserve built into my schedule. Lol.

Nice guys though - they act like they take pride in their work.

Hopefully the cam gets in today along with the trunion upgrades.

Shop is real nice though, guys are giving me plenty of confidence and tolerate my hanging around. [emoji1]

Is a catch can in your plans?
Already had one on the car, just didn't mention it. Cam was in early, trunion upgrade done, springs swapped. Should be going back together in time for tune and dyno on Friday!

I'm working Fri and Sat - I hope I can pick the car up before they close on the weekend!
 
So that's what 10 1/2 inches looks like, damn!!!
