Its a Precision GT72Q.

I should have everything on and be ready to start it this weekend as long as my valve cover spacers show up.

I'm jealous!!

No one makes any parts to beef it up? I can't help ya on the transfer case, but unless I'm F.O.S, isn't the tranny a 80/85e? And if that converter is stalled too high, pitch a fit & get restalled. Or, get a new one stalled where u want. Then put in & go beat the **** outta it.

I'm sure I will run into you at beach st. Or kdale. Once it is running again I will be driving it a lot since the tbss is gone and I'm selling my honda in a few weeks. Its gonna be my only ride until the Camaro comes in.

But its fun and feels good on the street. I thought the Trick kit used the stock manifold on the driver side, you are not...... whats going on over there????? You dont happen to still have the livernois kit laying around do you????
Rossler works on the 6L80e. Doesn't the 4.5k stall mess with your shift timing or adaptive shift programming?

I haven't talked to rossler in a few months about it but last time u did he had still done nothing with them because nobody actually made any hard parts for them. Hopefully that has changed, I will give him a shout and see if that hasp changed, thanks for the info. No it doesn't mess with the shifts, it's just flashes way to high. I'm too lazy to pull the tranny again and have it down for a few weeks. Plus I want to sell it so I can build a NNBS truck

I'm running the GT2-3 I already had. I'm going to see how it does and may change it later if I want more out of it.

I guess I will post a few pictures of my progress, and I will let the cat out of the bag on the mysterious box pictures.

And now for my boxes Rick dropped off!

I had the bottom of the bottle coated with LineX so it wont get a fubared when I take it in for refills. The kit is a Nitrous outlet plate kit with bottle heater bracket, 78mm plate. I got the Progressive controller from Trick, and he also took care of me with an FJO wide band that goes with the controller. Thanks for the good deal and great service Rick!
