You get that brake upgrade done yet?

Dominator install looks good. Did you have to lengthen or shorten any of the harnesses?

Everything went on pretty easy. Give me a shout once you get your dominator. I have a few tips to help you with some if the wiring issues I came accross. I can also give you a list of what all you willl need. I had to keep ordering parts because I didnt have all the rigjt harnesses. Holley makes it extremely easy for the ls guys. Pretty much plug and play.

The rear end is done! I narrowed the rear end 1" per side so I can fit some 315s and a 10" wide wheel. Also added Moser axles, detroit truetrac and did the 6 piston brake upgrade. I can spool to 3k now on the street and build about 4psi so that should help my 60. Headed to the 1/8 mile today to get some times in.

You have a parts list for that brake upgrade you did? I need to do something on mine as opposed to rebuilding all the drum stuff on that 14 bolt I got. Also do your 15 inch wheels fit over them?

My best time with the 4.8 was 11.1 @123. I removed the 4.8 and put a 6.0 and went 10.2 @126 and broke a rod. I just finished installing the new forged 370 and hope to have new numbers soon.
