I have been working on my project for about 2 years and this is what I have done so far:

Engine
Livernois 298 Stroker
ARP head studs
Stock Heads
Stock Cams
Whipple 2.3L w/Steeda 10 rib belt kit and 16psi
Steeda 6 rib udp's

Fuel
63# injectors
Fore fuel rails
GT500 twin pumps
KB 40A bap

Drivetain
Stock 5 speed
Steeda short throw shifter
Cenerforce DF clutch
Coast Aluminum DS
Chromoly lightweight Flywheel

Exhaust
JBA LT's, OR H-pipe, and Mufflers

Suspension
Steeda LCA's, UCA, HD Strut Mounts, Rear Swaybar
Eibach Sportlines
Wolf Racecraft 6 point roll bar

Brakes
Front Baer 14" rotors with 6P calipers
Back Baer 14" rotors and stock calipers
GMS Line Locks

Misc
Autometer gauges wideband, fuel pressure, water temp, boost
Raptor shift light
IAT sensor relocated to intake manifold


I picked up some new parts recently:
Livernois Stage 3 heads
Livernois Stage 3 blower cams
Monoblade TB with a Aluminum intake for the TB to the back of the Whipple from Adam at ST Motorsports
Moroso oil separator, aluminum radiator and power steering tanks
Breathers to go along with the oil separator from CFM and K&N
HPX MAF

I am waiting on the new exhaust gaskets to finish putting the heads on. I can only afford parts if I install them since it's about $95 or more a hour out here and I don't really trust people.

The downside is I am stationed in Hawaii right now and they don't have a track out here. It's nice to be out here, but I miss the track. So I am working on the car and getting it ready for the track once I get off this island and back to the mainland.

I haven't decided what to do with the rear drivetrain yet. I know it needs work, I just haven't got that far yet. Suggestions of a good weekend race/daily driver setup would be appreciated.

Last time it was on the dyno it pulled 533rwhp and 527rwtq, but it was a conservative tune and the belt wasn't cut right and it was making the car run like crap.

Nice car! A lot depends on what you want to do with it. Driving a stick car on the street is great, but driving an auto at the track is more consistent and I believe cheaper. Search for post by Ron (94tbird) and you will see all the hell he has gone through with clutches at your potential power level. FWIW, I will be running a built 4R from FB performance this year and I hoping to post a 10 second slip. I am also hoping for the winning lottery numbers.

That's one hell of a monster you've built.

Which Livernois block did you go with? 9.1:1 or 9.7:1?

I finished installing the heads and cams last night. Got the car running for a few minutes, just long enough for the idle to steady out and stop setting off my neighbors car alarm. It sounds great with the blower cams.

Now for a tune...
