Bought the LT4 (C7) blower from a fellow in OR for a very reasonable price.

The cam kit showed up, the wheels and LT4 fueling did not...

Well the LT4 fueling did but was evidently stolen off my doorstep - I had RockAuto ship me replacements which should arrive Thursday as well as had Costco ship me some Arlo cameras so I can keep an eye on things. I live in a good neighborhood, but someone local seems to know I get valuable parts etc - this is the first delivery stolen but my motorcycle was stolen while I was on vacation last year so I'm tired of worrying.

Wheels are still "in finishing" at Forgestar - this is 10 weeks for these wheels on Wed... I'm truly unhappy with their delays here.

Was thinking of buying a set of "street wheels" so I could run longer TW tires, and I might end up just buying wheels so I can drive the damn car once everything arrives.

WeaponX LT4 install kit and TripleX Heat-Exchanger kit are ordered and supposed to ship monday.

Goal is to have the car running by Mid-May - we'll see if that happens.

Wheels ship tomorrow - 1 day before the 10 week mark. Disappointing to wait this long but happy to have them soon.

Likely will get them Friday or Sat because the manufacturer is in CA

Wheels are finally here - pics below 19x11 +11 fronts

Note the 3rd pic showing the closeness to my already-ground strut tabs... Admittedly this is with the car on jack stands and the suspension fully extended.

Tires go on tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Tires are mounted but the -3.0* of front camber is prohibiting me from dropping the car on the ground because of clearance - will be grabbing a big spacer and camber plates.

More to come

Thanks dude - I'm glad someone does.


I wish it would be done - slow progress it feels like

Updates -

Spacers are here - camber plates arrived today and the upgraded Heat Exchangers are supposed to arrive any hour too

Pistons are the last remaining item.

Game plan - I'm gone this weekend for a trip so no work

I'm going to test fit the spacers Monday when I get home, should be fine. Will then drive the car to Chase Race on the weekend (of 5/20) and let them:

• Install Camber plates
• Re-align to -3.0* camber
• (hopefully) remove any/all spacers
• DSC controller and level to 0

Once this is done, I'll drive the car to my friends shop with all the engine parts (pistons should be in hand by then too) and install...

• Forged Wiseco/Vengeance Racing Pistons/rings
• PRAY Performance Stage 2 PD cam kit (lifters/springs/DOD-AFM Delete/phaser limiter/etc)
• LT4 Supercharger and WeaponX install kit
• LT4 HPFP and injectors
• WeaponX TripleX heat exchanger kit
• New fluids

Then off to Kenny at SpeedFactory for a full custom dyno tune

Then likely a full detail and coating... and then we'll probably put a new color on it via vinyl wrap - Then some pics and time to race

Sick build

I might have missed it but are you porting your heads at all to go along with the cam and blower?

This thing is going to be a beast around the track. Very excited to hear how it goes.

From what I've seen, the heads add very minor gains for quite a bit of money - so they were skipped.

I'm fully expecting the car to be quite a handful on the street and track haha

Car was dropped off at my buddy's garage last friday 5/25 for the tear down for the parts.

My DD (The Sierra) got rear ended on Monday (Memorial Day) and the wife received a shoulder injury from that so this past week was dealing with medical professionals and this coming week will be dealing with insurance professionals to get the truck mended.

All adds to the fun right? Oh boy lol

Big time bummer on the car crash and your wife being injured. Hopefully she recovers quickly and the truck gets fixed too.

I'm hoping for a speedy recover for her - Mainly because she's a massage therapist and rehab specialist so she uses her arms/shoulders pretty much the whole time she's at work. As such she's out of work til Thursday at minimum.

I consulted a lawyer and got advice on how to handle things to be best cover us from loss of wages for her and such, so I'm hoping it all works out for the best.

Truck is the least of my worries as it's still drivable, just not pretty lol. I'll work on getting that handled this week.
