Thats alot of stuff!

Nice setup, have you driven the new and improved car yet? lol.
All i've done so far:
Berlinetta tail lights
3.4L swap
Lightweight flywheel
Carter fuel pump
A dime in my regulator (needs a nickel...)
2.5 inch exhaust from the Y pipe.
High flow cat
Dual turbo muffler
Boxed LCA's (everyone with stock ones should do this)
Boxed Panhard bar (likewise)
Monroe Sensatracks (poor mans shock)

Got plans for:
Dump before the cat
Hedders and custom Y pipe (waiting for them now)
MSD ignition
Bigger coil (whatever cranks harder)
Aluminum driveshaft
A custom PROM

Thats it for me. Should all cost me about 400 bux, not bad at all really. Having my heads ported would be sweet too.

drove it over to my car club meet, then drove it over to my storage unit tonight. Need to fix antifreeze leak, and I did a rig up job on the egr covers, so need to redo them.

I tryed to shim the regulator 1/16 of an inch, and it was to much. So I'm thinking cut up a coke can, and shim it with them to about 45psi. need about 1/32 (.0325)

Where did you get the flywheel? Stock seems to be light enough.
