1 Year of complete happiness

I was sitting here thinking it was this time last year I installed thpsi on my car to complete my goal. That was to do all I could to the car without going into the engine. I have to say that I'm very happy with the car at this point and couldn't ask for anything better. Now with that said as I look back what things would I have done differently? There are a few things in hind site that knowledge is key and I should have did just a little more research before hand:

1. Went with the P1x instead of P1sc1. More power at the same boost level who wouldn't take that.
2. Not gone with meth but just did port injection from the start. Not knowing much about port at the time meth was the given choice looking at cost without spending big money on the DI fueling upgrades.
3. Stayed with the LT1 highside fueling since PI was added.

Now I'm by no means complaining about the work done to the car because its exactly what I wanted to do with the car and learned a lot along the way. Build it my way and I'm enjoying every minute in the drivers seat. To be honest I have been driving it more since I've completed the build than I was prior to it. The only thing that's stopping it from being a daily driver is the tires. I definitely need the grip so the Nitto 555r2s on the rear seem to be a nice trade off for the weekend bandit.

At somewhere upwards of 700whp I couldn't ask for anything more. For those that are currently going through this process of building this site is a knowledge bed. Big thanks to those that offered advice and suggestions as to what I could do and how to complete it. Special shout out to Snackbar Tuning for dialing in the port and always being available when I do something stupid or have questions.

Happy cruising everyone and also have a safe and blessed New Year.
