Can't remember off the top of my head but don't you need the 08-10 rear calipers or is it the rotors? Very interested in how the brakes feel and actual stopping performance. What side of town are you on? I work in La Porte but house hunting in Humble. What shop is doing your work (exhaust)?

Love your progress mate, car is looking hot!

You mentioned the front brembo calipers need to be swapped from left to right. is it the same for the rear? Also what is the pedal travel like now with the extra piston surface area? i'm wondering if a larger brake master cylinder is required...

Thanks. Actually I re did the setup. I switched them back to the proper side. And moved the bleeder from bottom to top.

Are you still running nitrous at all? Very interested in how this car behaves with it.

It has a slight stretch. But nothing dramatic.

I just ordered two sets of head flanges. One for a header. And the other or a turbo manifold
