But, good news is about a month ago I ordered up a set of the LED tail lights. I got those installed and also put LED's in all of the markers and all of the exterior lights. I have to say that the tails are pretty dang cool. But, I had to cancel my tuning appointment. I am not going to set a new appointment until the car is driving. Between my truck, GP, IROC, Boat, and other projects I have been killing myself with this stuff. So, I am just going to concentrate on the IROC for the time being. I will be welding the sfc's in tonight and working on the exhaust. The gauges have got to go in before it gets tuned. I'm not gonna run it with out them.
I am going to go a different way with the exhaust also. I really would like to run the exhaust all the way out the back of the car. Since I have the cat-back that was on the 99 when I bought it I am going to run 3" from the turbo all the way back to the cat-back system. I might run another muffler inline just to keep it on the quiet side. Then again maybe not? I think it's pretty quiet as it is now. We'll see what happens when I get everything up under the car. Just have to see how much room I have for mufflers.
let me guess spohn sfc's?

Worry about all that after the tune. Plenty of time. Get it to the tuner

I am supposed to getting this thing tuned next monday. But I am not sure. I need to get my sfc's welded in tonight, then it's down to getting my gauges in. I ran into a couple little snags with the gauges that I am going to run. I picked up a Eboost2 from Huron speed and it doesn't fit in my gauge pod so I had to order a mount for the boost controller. I also ordered a oil pressure gauge to fill the hole in my gauge pod that has been vacated by the boost gauge. The gauges in my car are the stock gauges, and so far it seems like they really don't like the ls engine.

Well, I got up to the shop this past weekend and started looming my wiring. Man is that a pain in the butt. But I got it 90% done now i need to just get the gauges installed and get the brakes bled. I think that will be this Sunday. If I am able to get away one day this week I will be heading up there to work on it. Since I have an appointment on the 19th to get it tuned. Oh yeah I have to get my SFC's welded in also. But that shouldn't be a big deal though.
