Thanks! The drop is around 2-3 in the front and 4-5 in the rear. It rides really nice with the coilovers. Handling and traction are great also. I wanted to have a set up that would work good on the street and the track. I could go lower with some adjustments but the roads around here a kinda shitty.

Got my gauges mocked up. I was a little worried about them being so low that it may be hard to see. But the angle rings really helped point them up and towards me in the drivers seat. I can see them just fine.

What shock length did you use on the front coil overs?
Do you know your center of wheel to fender measurement?
Thanks

I used 5.2" Stroke 14.5 ride height coilovers, with 800lb 10 in tall springs. I don't know the measurement from center of wheel to fender, but I can get it for ya later.

I notice RT shows to use a 12" spring for 5.2's but I guess a 10" doesnt make much difference.
Yeah, I would appreciate it if you got that center of wheel to fender measurement for me!
Thanks

I tried a 12” spring but the truck wasn’t low enough for my liking. Even with the coil over adjusted all the way down. That’s why I went the 10” spring so I would have more adjustment in the front. From the ground to fender it’s 31” from center of wheel to fender it’s 17”.

Been working on a home made / custom true cold air intake. I was running a cheap cai from ebay but, it didn't fit worth a dam since I switched to a NNBS intake manifold. I didn't want to drop a lot of money into a new aftermarket kit, since I had some universal 4in tube and couplers from some other projects. So I came up with a little plate / bracket to mount the air filter into the fender well behind the headlights. Its still pretty well protected from the elements, and hopefully it will help lower my iats some. This is how it turned out.

Upgraded my instrument cluster lights to leds. Got my trans temp gauge and afr gauge wired up so lights come on with dash lights. Also wired up the line lock.. Still need to find a place for the wide band sensor, and need to install the sender on trans for the temp gauge. Waiting for a time when I can get it on the lift to install the corvette servo, deeper pan, new trans lines, and cooler. Cant drive the truck because im still waiting fro my custom seats to be done.

I would be interested in how this performs. Because I myself have a cheap ebay cai that I got on the engine rebuild.
