Nice!

Im seeing what my stock engine can take before i build it- 13lbs + Meth, stock longblock!

It should do fine with 13lbs as long as you don't get greedy with the timing or let it go lean.

Just a shot at what just went in the car:

[91CCFirebird]

which seats are those and did it raise the seating position any?

[WarShrike]

Corbeau CR1s. They did raise the position a little bit. From what I understand, you can shave the foam a little to lower the butt down some. I am not interested in doing that right now as I don't have any major head clearance issues (5'11").

At 6'3" and all torso I am looking for some to lower seat position, they look great in your car.

I just bought a pair of seats like the ones you have (only mine look much, much worse) for my Spider. They are quite comfy.

Sounds like you'll need a solid seat with side rails, not the sliders. That'll let you drop the seat down and angle it the way you need it. But you won't be able to recline it...

Picked up shipment of my CClones (3" inlet 3.5" dual outlet) and my Holden intake manifold. Sumbuck is NASTY!

I've got plans for this one that'll come along after the manual trans swap is done.

[SuperBuickGuy]

good place to add a turbo

good place to add a turbo

It's on the drawing board. Actually that's been my end goal for a few years now.

[WarShrike]

Got these off ssclones (just google that). 3" inlet 3.5" dual outlet.

Really like the way it finishes off the catback. The guys at the exhaust shop were pretty impressed with the tips along with the low cost. They tuck up there pretty well. Not a quantifiable difference in sound, so I'm not gonna say if it helps in that area or not.

Nice and easy to clean too

Ordered a flywheel and a centerforce clutch. Should be getting them near the end of the month. More excited for this than I was for Christmas lol!
