Installed and it's a noticeable increase in induction noise. Sounds good! Exhaust is a little deeper now too. I'll try to grab some videos later this week

Before:


After:






Part throttle is smoother and quicker to rev now, need to go to the dealer for the tune next.

Got these in the mail today and installed:















Fitment was perfect and everything lit up on the first try. These are going to match so well with the ZL1 1LE 3rd brake light that's on it's way here next.

No more vinyl!!

HP Tuner (Std) arrived today, going to record the base map before I have the dealer reflash the tune for the GM intake, just to see what gets changed.



and here's an outdoor shot of the Diode Dynamics sidemarkers on my Fifty:

So when are you buying my 1LE wheels/tires (or the PSC2s I have, or both) to go with that 1LE suspension kit?

Amazing build thread - lots of inspiration. Love the OE+ look, can't wait to do some of the same modifications to my 1LE

Thanks - Brian

Thank you, Brian!

Trying my best to build out a GMPP OEM+ car build. Hitting the expensive parts of the build soon so it'll be baby steps from here on out

Picked up the car from the dealer this morning.

1LE trailing arm had a bolt loose. Replaced and torqued back down, no more squeaks.

Applied the GM tune for the intake, accel is much smoother and a little quicker now. Going to do a map compare to see the changes made.

Replaced the driver side seat cover. TSB for loose stitching around the recline pull handle. Tech alerted me to it a while back, wasn't visible. Decided to go for it to get new leather for free haha.

Custom alignment to GM Track specs being done on Thursday.

[F1FTY]

Alignment done to GM Track specs for the FE3 suspension. The 1LE Track specs are a little aggressive for my street tastes (-2.1 up front).

Had the front strut mounts tightened down to try to treat some knocking in the front end of the car that appeared after the install. It's helped but the noise is still there, so I'm thinking it may be swaybar related now. I really could use my own garage at this point to get in there and check myself.

Anyways, glad I had this second alignment done as the chart shows that the suspension settled a bit since the install:



In terms of driving, things are more coherent behind the wheel with improved turn-in. Short shifter and bigger front brakes would really tie this package together. In time...

Ordered a ported TB to finish off the induction side of the motor.

[F1FTY]

Katech ported TB arrived today, will install with ported IM over the next couple of days:

[F1FTY]

Installed the Katech TB today so I could see what difference each part does on the car.

Here are some comparison photos to the stock TB:







You can tell the lip was smoothed down and the center bar definitely got some attention as well. Car idles nice and steady and I'll take it out for a drive later.

Next install will be the PRAY ported IM.

(I plan on having him port my stock TB later, then resell the Katech).

Received and installed the ZL1 1LE 3rd brake light today:







Cleans up the look a lot.

w00t that means mine should be on the way soon!
