looks nice.

The spring rates sound good for a full boddied rig, be interesting to see the flex shots. With abit of weight on the rear tray it will prob be sweet :cool:

Keep it up dood :armsup:

Tray is pretty heavy, 2mm floor and there's a fair bit of 100x75 and 75x50 box hiding under there

Rebuilt LT95 and C10, Auto has an extra clutch pack, re-machined planetry gearset, Stage 2 shift and standard stall of about 1800rpm.

isn't that stall a bit high, wouldn't something around 1000 rpm be better?

But then it becomes laggy to take off, depends on personal preference

Slight change of plans, 8.8:1 compression and one of these will help move it along a little less slowly

Shame to go to all that trouble and not engineer it, so it will be doing circles in the backyard or going on a trailer ?

Aftermarket engine management and a supercharger are a little bit hard to get approved :roll:

i'm in the process of getting mine engineered atm
the only thing he picked me up on was how i mounted the tray, and that was essentially it bar going and getting emmissions and whatnot done

$132ph not cheap!! but I've done all the running around for him to find out exactly what year brakes/seats/engine etc have come off.
being mine is 82 (86 is the cut off i think) there is basically no ADR's in terms of aftermarket computer and blower...

$600 and it should be all legit with LRA bodylift n springs, 35's (when i can afford maxi's) ute chop and p76 powered... $600 better off if i maim some school kids and my insurance covers my ass!

Light run on the dyno and 158hp at the wheels, needs a couple of klm's on it for the final tune, but pulls quite well, still wants a blower but :D

Nobody cares :D but it was back on the dyno again for another tune, 183bhp and its a crapload smoother to drive, got to get another trip in before the navnite but :cry: but not bad considering a stock 3.5 on the same dyno is 60bhp
