That should put down some pretty impressive 1/4 mile times. Do you have some sticky tires? I am sure you already know your going to need them. My Trailblazer was scary until I invested in tires and I don't have near what your pushing.

If you use that TCI flexplate and the ARP converter bolts just be aware they will most likely hit your 80E dust shield. Mine did and so did Marks using the same plate and bolts. The inner portion of the shield that extends in can be trimmed a bit and all is well. Just a FYI.

Whats the story on the TPIS 102? You ran it before and changed, now going back? Just curious as I know it has the LS2 servo motor so that is good, you just dont see them much. I know the NW102 is prone to the same issues as the LS3 as they utilize the same motor.
Just trying to explore options if I decide to go to a 102mm at some point. If I ever decide to turn it up and push this blower then Ill look into a 102mm maybe.

Yea. A little breakdown, P-I put it in drive or reverse and it goes. Yank put it in drive or reverse and just stays. P-I you have to tap the gas, tap it too much and hold on. Yank, tap the gas nothing. Get it up to 1800rpms and it starts moving.
I haven't messed with the P-I enough. But the two times I hit it it felt like it wouldn't stop pulling. The Yank when it hits, hits hard. It's like dumping the clutch at high RPMs. I like the feeling when it hits. But getting it to move while driving it around the street. Or even on the dyno, seems like it's flashing way too high.
