I have to agree. Do you have anything else to customize? Looks like you covered it all, and very well.

but for a true tuner, the piece of artwork at his/her hands is never complete

Believe it or not.....I still have a lot of plans for this car. I've been working on the car this weekend adding a larger front sway bar with poly bushings and Energy Suspension end links. I'm waiting to get my upper and lower intake manifolds back from WOT-tech.com. They are being ported and polished (Competition Series). I'm also upgrading the valve springs to the LS6 springs with new seats and seals.

Then I have some other surprises for the 2010 season.

You should have totally done an LX9 top swap to get more from that Eaton...

[leaveitsmokin]

I thought about doing the 3500 top swap...but decided I wanted to stick with the 3400 for now

[[ChaosweaveR]]

Either way, you still have the tasty M62.

I'd sell ya my stocker top for cheap if you just want the stock, as I've ordered tons of new stuff and a brand new top end

[markpetersonii]

OMG! I love the interior!!! I want mine done like that but red and black.

[FusionGT]

God Paul, I love this car. I think this spring I'm going to have to take a drive out your way just to see it again.

[Jakeman17]

Looks good!

[60DegreeVVT]

WOW

Can i have your M62?

i think that the eaton you have may work on the 3.5 (LX9 and LZ4) as well as the 2.9 (LZ9) motors...

Where can i find one? they are too hard to find
