    the what are you doing for this season thread

    my engine is due back today from being refreshed.

    the trans should follow soon enough

    need to look at stepping up the fuel system a tad (not even started)

    new turbo needs to be fit up (need some piping 5" and some creativity)

    need to reinstall all that junk, no other changes that i know of.

    I got a WS6 so it's pretty much better than whatever you got.

    Re: the what are you doing for this season thread

    Refreshed trans (hurt it pretty good at Import vs. Domestic)

    DLS 9" (10-bolt joined the trans in the car parts to repair/replace pile at Import vs. Domestic)

    New exhaust (ARH Stainless 1 7/8 headers, ARH Y, and SLP 2OTL catback [will need to install cutouts in Y as well])

    BMR K-member, upper and lower A-arms, and manual rack (can't decide if I want race brakes on it.... have them, but don't want to change rotors/pads all the time)

     4150 TB

    Total rewire of the nitrous kit (every time I do it it turns into an effing rats nest... trying to fix that.) and install Harlan two step

    Jet up the kit

    Have Steve work on the tune

    Maybe new wheels before the beach show.... We'll see
