I'm not sure why the thumbnail says May 8th, but when I click the link it takes me to the video from June 15th.

Basically, their latest video says they were having issues with DBW, but it ended up being a faulty PCM. They got a new one and they need to have the immobilizer deprogrammed. They are also waiting for their "black box" to arrive that allows all the gauges to talk to the Chevy ECU.

To be determined, but I really think the balance will not be effected by the swap,.....not balance related but....my car weighed 2682 and now weighs 2814......extremely small weight gain for an enormous amount of power and instant torque. Most of the weight gain is from the more centrally or forward centrally Tremec transmission.

This is great news, and way better than the ~3000lb WGP car!!

I think it went from 55% front weight with the flat four to 53% front weight with the LSx.
