Went through this discussion back in the SC days   Not a huge fan of spending money on things that dont make any engineering or performance difference unless I have too.  You really dont end up seeing any of it really with the ITB set up anyway, what you do see the orange offsets the look of the trumpets etc.

Suprised you didnt get a nice shiney billet one

And for the record, VHT do a “Chevy Orange” (Hugger orange) hi temp spray can, tried it last night looks like an exact match for the block colour, so hopefully the valley cover comes up nice.  (paining is not my strength I can assure you!)

Well being OCD I have checked all the threads in the block and they are all spot on

First use of POWA hahha.

If your a true OCD you would get some thread taps to clean all the threads in he block when it comes back. LOL

Is your DBW?  Is there something funky you could do with how it controls throttle body relative to the pedal?

Here in SA I go to CBC, not sure if they are up your way (checked their website looks like they are)

So spoke to Brenton during the week, he is aiming to get the heads sorted this week end (waiting to hear) and then come up Tuesday night to do some trial fitting and measurements etc.  Hanging for that

So thought I would try and knock off “project clean”. Got everything pretty well cleaned and bagged. Spent a while on the grinder with the…[Read more]

Just a tad slippery….

Good luck buddy.

I did that on mine, I have a write up with pics in my thread on how I did it.  I used a Dakota Digital unit, and custom fitted it into the console.  In may car (VR) with the glide I made up a new decal to look factory but only having D and L.  I used a manual gear knob and tuned up an adapter to fit it to the ratchet shaft.

Just got a chance to watch the vid, beautiful mate, would love a $ for every time I told my lad when he was learning to race “smooth is fast”  Car looks and sounds awesome, love the steering work, particularly after the bridge  

The issue isn’t what the dash can read. It’s what the ecu puts out.

You will need a gps module to run speedo on the racepak.

To run what gear your in you will prob need the Dakota box to send the racepak a signal anyways.

The dash should be legal for road use.

What year is the actual ECU? It should be ok IMO

Majority of the info you will be able to obtain from the OBD2 port. But there are certain parameters that the ECU does project with the Racepak so additional sensors would probably have to be used. Thats where it gets costly, but it wouldnt be many depending on what you really want.

What ecu do you plan to use. Any ls pcm  pre 2008 lags when using the obd2.

Top stuff mate, what a weapon.  Gotta be happy with that result.

Got a day off today, thought I would continue operation clean bits, so in that spirit decided to take a break and  give the old girl a sponge bath given she is laid up awaiting her heart transplant.  That paint work still floats my boat
