Good job! :tup: I did a DIY thread on the APR long studs awhile back.

This is also the same reason why using the grommet where all the wires enter the cabin as a way to hook up gauges are a bad idea. The grommet will be worthless and leak water into the cabin unless it is sealed off again with some sort of sealant.

:iagree: I lost an ECU from water coming down through a cut I made to the grommet after a nitrous kit install on my previous HR . I should have applied some rubber sealant

Saw the car. Phenomenal work all around :tiphat:

Sad that I didn't get to say hi.

What transmission did you use?

Hey - amazing project - Congrats!

I looked through the thread but couldn't find what transmission you used.

Was it a 6L80 automatic?

Hey thanks.. used a 6l80. I wanted it bc it was one of the newer and I wanted paddle shifting. With more research I could have gone with an upgraded 4l80.

That looked like a nightmare before.

Yes it did ! But motivation with the vision and taking things one step at a time , got things done ✅

Im debating between a SC build or a 4.8 vortec swap. Reading this thread made that decision so much harder
