I tossed in a tick clutch master. The clutch stuck a couple times at high RPM at blackhawk. It’s a common recommended solution. Now the clutch has a super short throw. Works for me, but it’ll make the engagement point a little harder to find. I’m hoping this doesn’t turn into a clutch replacement. It doesn’t feel like it’s slipping, but engagement is really high. Once I get my heads in, I’ll probably be up over 100whp.
I just finished up my cam install. I put in a SDPC LS6 power max plus cam. https://sdparts.com/i-24138755-sdpc-sdr51902-ls6-power-max-plus-camshaft-upgrade-for-5-7l-6-0l-6-2l.html Of course I redid a bunch of new while you’re in there stuff 10% underdrive pulley.

Couple things prepping for a track day this weekend- I put some insulation on all the brake lines near my headers. The velcro style sounds easy, but my god was it a PITA. I think I’d rather just open my brake system and rebleed than deal with trying to wrap it and set metal zip…
Today I worked on installing a ls6 intake manifold. It’s more of a PITA than it appears. After you get it out the early steam tubes don’t work with the newer manifold as it’s deeper. I pulled my steam tubes and used them as a template to chisel out the ribbing on the bottom where…
Last weekend I tackled the steering rack. What a PITA that was. I’d like to strangle the engineer who made me drop the subframe to get the rack out and only allow about 1/32nd of a turn on the PS lines from the pump. Extra fun was the new rack didn’t come centered. So when…
Last night I got the wheels back on and got to test it for the first time. ABS seems fully functional and I didn’t manage to screw up the rest of the car. The braking feels a lot smoother under ABS than the stock system did. I used to really be able to feel the…
