Going to pick up the new motor wed. I am going to try to have the motor in this weekend. However I am thinking of doing the rear gear now and having both front and rear subframe powdercoated now which could delay this. I am doing a 3.27 rear gear. Lots of really neat things are getting done this winter. I plan to make this car show worthy"nothing im interested in just want a car that clean." ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > Luke L is obv on top of the wiring situation and teaching me oh so much. I am getting pretty decent at this stuff. We made a full page of labels and an index for when we start remaking a new harness. It is all going to be in the pretty loom newman uses that I \<3. I am stoked. The rats nest you see Drew holding is so we can connect 8 wires. MY GOD. This will look so clean when we are done. ---

What do you mean? It is just the ls1 harness spliced to the FD harness. No intermediate harness that connects the two. ---

so why 3.27’s? didn’t you have 3.73’s in there? did you sell them? ---

Because this car is going to be in the neighborhood of 900hp…so it needs 3.27s. I have 4.10s in it. No way I could get down the 1/4 on 3.73s on that much power. 3.55s MAYBE but I’ll just play it safe. ---

150+ ---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ---------- To elaborate I will start dialing the car in and getting comfortable with it on low boost so say 135ish to start and as it gets turned up the combo should be capable of 150+ especially if it ever sees an auto. This is a no nonsense build to say the least. ---
