How's the warranty doing? LOL
Super Cool build!! Love how you started with a "totaled" car and used your skills to build it back up. I AGP TTed my 5th gen 1LE and then my friend totaled it AFTER the build. But really totaled it shiny side down. Doing a TT your way is so much smarter and cheaper. But first you have to have the skills and time.

Well ya'll, i was really hoping to post a sweet sub 10.5 timeslip and video but unfortunately the car isn't pulling hard up top any longer; I suspect my torque converter is the culprit but do not have concrete proof yet. When I was at the track, I accidentally left the hptuners cable at home.
I am in the process of getting some body work knocked out on the car that I have been putting off; after I get the car back, I should have enough cash to throw a stall in it. Keep you posted with the direction the car takes & so on. Who knows, maybe some pistons and rods will show up from Santa.

I have been super busy lately, but unfortunately the tq converter is still not replaced. I have a few other projects going on at the moment and decided to leave this car alone until I get the converter ordered & installed.
On the plus side, the body work I have been meaning to accomplish is coming along smoothly and the car is ready for paint. My friend came through to help on the body since I have been out of town lately. He ended up using a porta-power to bring the left quarter back out and made some repairs from some botchy body work on the right quarter from the last owner's body shop.

Which of the 3 Circle D converters are you planning to install? Checking out the Phastek list I saw 2 that appear to be qualified to support a forced induction engine? Lethal Camaro has gone with the CIRCLED-6-24-13-05. There was also the CIRCLED-6-24-13-04. Both had capacities of 1,200 HP. A more "mild" version stated a 800 RWHP capacity. Which one would you recommend for best combo of streetability and 1/4 mile use?

I will be consulting Chris @ circle D to narrow in on the specific stall speed. i'm guessing somewhere in the 3200 to 3800 range would be groovy. For street-ability I personally would not get a converter that's super loose or you may not like how the car drives. Consult Circle D about your plans and they will help you choose the correct stall speed. If you don't like it, you always get a free re-stall!
