Default Christmas came a little early..heh heh

So... my ******* AWESOME WIFE bought me a brand spanking new polished Magnacharger for Christmas!! Just waiting on it to arrive now!

I'll post up the accumulated parts list here and some of the completed shots once I get everything installed. I should have everything 100% completed and running by the Charlotte, NC meet in January!

So far this is what will be going in:

-Radix
-LS6 Cam
-LS6 Springs
-B&M Tranny Cooler
-Metco billet Idler pullies
-160 Tstat
-AEM Uego Wideband
-Autometer Ultralight Boost guage
-So Cal Gauge pod

My want list:
-FLT Level 5 Tranny (hopefully not soon, lol)
-Rear locker
-Dynatech LTs

Now, for the install I have summoned Justin from Blackbear. I will be driving up to his house sometime in Dec/Jan for the install and tune. I will definetly post up pics and the end results.

That's all for now, will edit and update as parts come in and things start evolving...

Forgot to add, new MOOG tie-rod ends are going in next weekend (hopefully)! Also, I have the complete front Z06 brake conversion going on as well. 6-piston C6 Z06 calipers with 15" Cross-Drilled and Slotted rotors, stainless lines, etc. Should be nice!

Here are some pics of the goods that already came in. I love this AEM Uego Wideband, just sucks because the silver bezel wont fit inside the socal pod. Fawk!










more to come!

ur not thread jackin! Gotta buy the Z06 Caliper brackets, I have the guy who makes them if you want his info. Then grab either a set of 14" Powerslot rotors (there are a boatload of them used on sss.com) or 15" rotors from supersub on sss.com. Banjo bolts, crush washers, stainless lines, and brake pads and you are DONE!

Very easy mod. Plan on dropping around $1300 for the entire setup if you run 15" rotors, and about $1000 for the 14" option.

The 14" powerslots are slotted only and don't utilize the entire brake pad. The 15" are x-drilled and slotted and use the entire Z06 pad.

i cant complain though, last week my gf took the front end of my truck apart, pulled the bowtie out of the grill, sanded it and painted it to match my truck (primer, wetsand, about 6 coats of white and 3 coats of clear) and i didnt even mention i wanted it done.
