Thanks everyone. I put over 100 miles on her today. She's is coming together well.
Averaged 21mpg in stop and go and over 27mpg on highway.
Also did a few 120mph pulls and she felt good.
Just got some minor ends and odds to wrap up, but she is back!

**update**
Figured now would be a good time to update her progress.
well i have about 98% of the bugs worked out...
- have had several opinions and it seems my whole pushrod issue is resolved. Got the correct size in there at least until i pull the trigger on a cam.
-i was having an issue with the computer and tach losing RPM signal. turned out to be a bad plug for the crank sensor
-current and only issue is its leaking some oil from the front timing chain cover somewhere. Might have a small crank as i do remember torqueing them to spec. So gonna pull the water pump off tomorrow night to get a better look at where shes dripping from. But its not a massive leak at all.
-i currently am running my old, leaky, blown turbos until i can budget some time to get the new flanges welded on. Really excited to have the new ones mounted as it will really help the car breath up top.
Well, with all that being said i am approaching my 500 mile mark. So what does that mean??? track day is wednesday.
I will be going on street tires because i sold my drag setup to a member. So i will be doing it more for logging purposes. Not expecting any crazy times or new PB. just for fun and data retrieval.
I am currently getting about 21-23mph city driving and got almost 32mph on the highway going 65mph for about a 25 mile trip. I was pretty impressed.
A few shoutouts too..
Matt Sorian (not on here but some of you know him) from FSP down in florida, he has taken me under his wing and his helping me with learning how to tune the beast. Guy has major talent for sure.
Stefano, Great guy to talk to and unfortunately i havent had any work done by him. But just through our brief conversations i can tell you this is one stand up guy that really cares about these cars.
Zeke and PSJ, you guys are always there to listen and lend advice. I am really a newb when it comes to the LSx game. So i have had some pretty stupid questions haha.
And everyone else that has rooted me on along the way. I really appreciate the encouragement and enthusiasm you all have expressed with me along the way.
needless to say... I am back

For starters, big shout out to PSJ for helping me take the next step in my journey/build.
Paid him a visit last night and cleared some goodies out of his garage.
*V6 brakes
*c5 zo6 17" X 9.5" wheels
*hoosier 10x28 slicks.
I will be installing all of this today after work. So hopefully traction is the last thing I have to worry about tomorrow at the track. Here's a little teaser in the meantime.
