Well now that the escalade is pretty much almost done time to get back to the V since shes been lonely.


Just a updated the new LT1Z cam was put in and it was a nice step up in power esp mid to top range.

Tomorrow going to do the hi flow kdi pump

going to order new 305 35 19s next week and give my current tires to LT1Z.


Only thing I need to do is try to find some dark grey paint. When i do the new wheels dont want the stems to stick out like a sore thumb. I might take off the rear rotors tomorrow and put the ebc pads in and paint the rotors silver color just to clean it up a little.


HIGH Flow pump is in. IM working on a bigger intercooler tank now also.


Rotors had a little rust on them so cleaned them up painted alum color with come high temp clear over and just getting ready for the wheels. once wheels are on if I dont like the silver rotors ill end up painting them black

If you get a chance, can you check and tell me if the coil harnesses are separate from the rest of the engine harnesses? I want to buy just the coil harnesses, but obviously if they're bundled together with the injector harness or other wiring it won't be possible.
 
yes just installed some WCCH ported heads and the blower spacer from d3
