Recommended Posts

well i havent driven the SS lately because have been taking my sweet ass time to get all the little stuff done. this has included vortech t trim supercharger a 10 bolt ta performance rear end girdle, the big 3 ( 1/0 gauge postive and ground and 4 gauge alt wires) ,vortech maxflow bov, nitrous system including bottle heater, nx wet kit, purge solenoid with intercooler spray ring and nitro daves switch panel. custom intake for vortech with air box also painted the exhaust matte black and gutted the cats. here are alot of pics of me and the big help of my operation Mike , he is my girlfriends brother , he has helped a ton in getting the SS where its currently at, he is doing the tuning , and helping me with the fabrication of the little stuff. i also want to thank jon (jonmalibuss) for helping me get the aluminum pipes welded and fabricating the bov mount for me, he does some of the best work i have seen and the turn around is faster than i could ever ask for.

 

here are the pics

here are some of the wheels ill be using they are centerline 18's with nitto 555r 305/45/18 drag radials.

 

im going to the track next saturday and sunday. hopefully not breaking anything. im hoping for low 11's. I should see mid to lower 11's off the bottle with the new slicks and everything else running like it should. and really low 11's with the bottle as im only going to run a 50 shot.

 

the purpose of the girdle is to put pressure on the main caps to prevent flexing, thats also why i did the stud kit, it wasnt 100% necessary but these 10bolts aren tthe strongest rear end possible.

the switch panel cost 60 bucks, the rest of the n20 set up was around 1k all together

 

im sure getting close to broke , i really wish i could find a sponser to help pay for an 80e swap

 

on a fun note we took the truck out late tonight to kill some gas, we kind sorta ran into a titan and he provoked me to show em what my ss had. anyway i was babying it until this guy came up to a light, i took off a little just to keep even and then i let er rip and HOLY CRAP this thing is faster for sure, i instantly heard all tires screeching ( on 22's) and the truck started to drift to the right but corrected itself, i let off right as i shifted into 2nd and i was so far ahead he didnt even try again. as i saw him come up he was looking at out his window doing a bowing gesture. :crackup: .i cant wait to hit the track next week!!
