Hey there everyone figure I will share my build as I have been adding a few things over the last few weeks.
2016 GT Premium, Auto, currently 3400mi on the odo
Started off with some suspension items and of course exhaust... Looking for 830-850whp on stock block and e85 with only an OPG- sprocket upgrade and hopefully 9.30-9.50's in the 1/4



some from the exhaust install, I like the deeper tone so went with an H over the X

some from the bushing lockout kit both cradle and diff.. front diff lockouts were a PITA, def had to put some leverage on the cradle.. they say the steeda solid lockout kit adds alot of NVH... I don't think so, all I noticed is a tiny bit of audible gear whine now and a little more noise when going into gear, thats it!

Nice car and great choices on the Mods.
If possible could you please post up a video of what the Pypes exhaust sounds like?
Thanks

Thats a very nice shopping list from Beefcake!

I have the Beefcake Paxton 2200sl kit on a 3.6" with the BV57... Couldn't be any happier with the set up. Pulls like a freight train.

Looking forward to seeing more progress photos! :)

More stuff is showing up seems everything gets delayed this time of year due to UPS being backed up.. now that the heater is in the barn I should be able to at least make some Headway on it in the coming weekends

Will do, out of town this weekend but I'm still waiting on the fuel system, stall converter, and blower kit to come in then of course prioritizing.

Bunch more stuff showed up, unfortunately stuck in a lake effect band today so have all of the vehicles in the barn with not much room to work.

Think I will start off with the Axles, rear drag springs and cradle alignment kit first since those can pretty much be done in one shot.[/ATTACH]

Team Beefcake had a killer price on these pypes headers and should mate up to the Hbox catback I have on already with full 3" to the back and no neckdown

20171204_183431.jpg


JLT intake, Boundary OPG, MMR crank sprocket, Ngauge, balancer tool
20171205_185524.jpg


Fore level 4 return fuel system, dual TI pumps, FC3 controller, rails, etc etc.
Some pricey stuff but the quality is definitely there, did not want to skimp on the fuel system.. UPR plug and play catch can and Viking warrior double adj shocks. I like how Fore is constantly making changes for the better on these kits.

[/ATTACH]

sorry about the monster pics I will have to size the next batch down a little more.

Also picked up the Race Star Bracket Racers 17x10.5 and 17x7 , Beefcake had a good price but Summit was the same and had a bunch of Summit bucks I had to redeem before they expired. I like the black as I have them on the Camaro, but these saved a bit and still look good

Converter and Vortech kit are still in production.. Not sure if the BMR d/s loop is backordered or what, waiting on that as well..

plan to do everything else around the converter install, as it would make sense to do the d/s and headers then as well.

Waiting on my help to be free a day or 2 to do the OPG and blower install... kind of makes me nervous since alot of the OPG labor shares the blower install so the first start won't be until its ALL installed and if something is off it ALL has to come back off!!

Why not do the OPG and crank sprocket, button her up and give it a run on the stock engine & stock tune, make sure its running right, then move forward with the blower install?

Won't cost you much extra time at all. All you'd be putting back on would be the stock air intake and refilling oil and coolant system and you could fire her up. Then yank the intake off, drain the coolant, and you can put the Vortech blower on.

Not totally out of the question still in the planning stages of the order I'm going to do the stuff.. I watched pretty much every video there is on the timing and have a shop manual but I'm always OCD about that kind of stuff...
