You are doing a great job on your car>>!!!!! I have 1 question and commet for you... From one of your pic I see you are running QA1 coil over set on the front.. Are they the 350 pound spring or the 450....?? Next by what I can tell you have the bottom of the shock mounted below the AArm like a stock set up would be......When I was talking to the tech guys At QA1 they told me mount the shocks on top of the A arms...They said if you don't the bolts would brake.....Thanks

They are mounted the correct way and are #450 springs.

Yep thanks Ty they are mounted the correct way. However, I did switch to a 350lbs spring per QA1's recommendations. But I'm keeping the 450's on the shelf just in case.

Thanks man! These are the only other pictures that I have of my relay panels. I made a front and rear panel just to keep things a little cleaner. The nice part about the rear panel is I only have a single wire for each relay going to my switches.

Thanks man! Ya I wasn't sure how it was gonna look with the black valve covers and uncoated intake, but I'm really glad I went that way I think it turned out pretty good.

Well I got the motor fired up tonight!!!! It fired up the first try without any problems at all, I am pretty pumped. I still need to break it in and adjust the shifted linkage but other than that its pretty much done.
