Noah,
How do you feel about the 3.9FD. Is that the right gear for the LS2?

Honestly I love the car as is. I cannot comment if another FD would work as I have been driving witha 3.9 for 3 years in this car.
If someone has a 4.08 or 3.5 FD VLSD pumpkin and we can swap em easy...i'm down to review and get back to everybody.
Regarding the shifter.....yes....brian did AMAZING work here....i mean even the shift **** matched the interior....
Brian,
If i have not thanked you enough....thank you!!!!
TRULY AMAZING JOB!!!! Can we supercharge this thing yet tho
BTW....
I took like 90 pictures earlier...I am too lazy to look thru them and host them

Noah, question about pix:
So your passenger door opens vertically but your driver's door swings normally? Is that right?
If you were going to go with CF or custom painted valve covers then yeah, but why get/pay for Corvette ones vs. the GTO ones you already in earlier shots? Did you like the looks of the black covers in your engine bay better vs. the GTO silvers ones? Or is it that Corvettes are considered to have more "pedigree" than GTO's? Just curious to your reasoning there.
Do you still have your stock 3-point belts? Do they still work with those Bride seats? Not sure if you care, but I do not believe your shoulder straps are secured to the harness bar correctly. That setup would not pass any tech inspections for the HPDE events I've done. The straps need to be secured to the (thick) harness bar itself shown in this pic of my Z
http://s164.photobucket.com/albums/u...nt=350Z030.jpg
Not clipped on to the guide posts/bars (for lack of a better term). What you have your shoulder straps clipped to are there to prevent the shoulder straps from "walking" on the harness bar; they are not designed to provide restraint protection in an impact. Just FYI. I'm not slam'n ya or "throwing stones" or anything and if you are aware of all this and they are just there for the show then my apologies, but if you actually use them for safety as opposed to the sock 3-point setup then you might not be as protected/secured as you think. The welds on those little guide bars will most likely snap in a front impact and you will either be kissing the windshield or pulling your teeth out of your steering wheel.
Do you have access to a lift? Any chance we can get "belly" pix to see the exhaust and headers?

Dude you are preaching to the choir regarding my harnesses....I clipped those because i got that bar in a pinch ( i had an hour to make a photoshoot)...was expecting to do a roll bar with welded eye bolts to clip the harnesses to but ran out of time before the car had to be at hin...i have 3 bar slides to properly affix them....but once again...I am too lazy
The corvette covers were installed for HIN boston....at the suggestion of a few people the word "CORVETTE" attracts more attention than a simple LS2 (some people thought it was a stock motor) (even teh GTO forums said I should rock em)
No lift access yet.....the car will be dropped off saturday for a body kit install (would have been today but I got really sick) When it is on a lift there I will try my best to snap some for you

They made a conversion box that works flawlessly. the speedometer is 100% accurate (i have checked it with GPS...and an officer was nice enough to confirm my findings
)SO far the rear end and chevy trans are beautiful together.
The VDC and TCS woork fine....but i disconnected the computer under the center console as i only drive in the nice weather anyway.\
SO far no codes but I am sure when UPREV had my ECU they had something to do with that

Wasn't trying to check-bad with ya. If you have ever gone to or stopped along the way at some local car shows or gatherings you'll know why I had to ask (sometimes you see some whack chit out there).
You ever do any HPDE or NASA Time Attacks with your Z? If so, I can't wait for a link to some in-car video of you out there in your V8 Z!
Feel better. Take two chicks and post in the morning...
