Well still haven't made jack all for progress lol. Mainly little piddly stuff is left.
New injectors are in their homes/top end buttoned up. New power steering pump, box, tie-rods, center link, pitman arm, idler arm, idler support, Wolff steering shaft bearing, etc. Bunch of other new BS as well haha.

Next Steps:
1) I also am switching the turbos out. I will be going from a genuine Borg S364.5/74x68/0.91 & VS based BB S480/96/1.32 (Borg profile turbine) to a Pulsar BB S369/82x75/0.91 & BB S488/96x88/1.32 both with 9 blade Garrett profile turbines. I've seen some pretty solid drivability and flow gains with these designed turbines when they're QC'd by a quality turbo shop.
-Note: This is a winter or post UCC plan. My current charger setup will allow me to compete in the "small compound" dyno class which I think I have a fairly good shot at.
2) I have to pull my hydro boost back out it seems. I measured the old hole (factory LB7 part) with calipers and opened up the 2011 LML booster to be slightly larger (I think it was 0.002-0.004" larger) with a dremel and a sanding roll but now have a constant brake light which was not present before. I believe I may need to go a touch more but I haven't had this issue.
3) Finish putting the cooling stack and CAC plumbing in and enjoy it.
