We made a catch can today. Ill have the fittings on it tomorrow. The inlet and outlet are on top and the drain will be on the bottom. After that we are going to paint it wrinkle black like everything else.

These wheels arent as nice as the billets but I think they look better on my car. Im gonna use these slicks at the track wednesday and see how it goes. Im hoping for an 11.9 NA without breaking the rear end.

I know you have probably answered this, but is the ls2 (such as cams/heads) stock? Just curious thanks.

Quick cell phone shot of finished catch can. I used a small brass tube(about one inch) on the valley cover side to keep it from getting sucked right back up into the intake. I used a small brass petcock on the bottom and a small brass tube at the very bottom to keep everything clean when I drain it.

I put a tube in one of the elbows on top so the oil wouldnt suck right over.

"Shitty cell phone pic of the new intake. This stupid intake solved all of my MAF issues. I guess having it that close to the TB really does mess it up."

yeha I ran into that problem with a friend's Sr20

the spacings got to be about 10" or more at least...turbulent air wont give accurate readings.

Hinson sent me a refund on the tach signal adapter. I was sick of waiting for a 300$ part that wasn't even designed yet and tired of all the stories about why it wasn't available yet. I paid for it in January. So now im going to have to figure it out. I have a few people looking into it. Once we come up with something I will let everyone know. Right now thats the only thing in my car that doesnt work...well besides paying 425$ for an ECU reflash and im still getting codes....I will deal with that soon.

did you happen to look at the LQ4 out of chevy pickups? just an iron block version of the ls2 delivering the same numbers but can be purchased for under 500 dollars used, plus can be bored out to a 427 easily

For some reason I had always thought that the ls2 was an iron block. Just looked it up and it is aluminum. Must be going retarded.
