Thanks for the shots Tony! Final tune down, need to play around with the traction control and a couple of other things with the EcuTek. May see about pressing the boost up a bit as well. Currently at 14psi with room to grow. Maybe push it up to 17psi in the near future.

Looking great!
I came across this thread be searching Soul Function. Which braces do you have on your car? Did you have any problems fitting them over your aftermarket exhaust? Can you give handling impressions? Sorry, it's not meant to derail your build thread, you can PM me if you'd like to keep it offline. Thanks!

To answer people for clearance/fitment issues, zero fitment issues, but you will have clearance issues if you're lowered at all. The bars hang well below the oil pan.

Soul function is 2 guys working out of their basement of one of their residential homes in their "free time" (its neither of their full time jobs). They went over to China and have ripped off GT Specs molds and have been rebranding them over here in his basement by getting them powdercoated a different color.

Interesting to know. They did look awfully similar to GT Spec items. I went with Soul Function as I could not find the GT Spec items in stock anywhere.
Check my DIY out:

It allowed me to retain my brake lights with usage.

So, do the taillights completely turn off or just the brake lights don't light up while you're holding the button?

The brake lights stay normally functional. A lot of people were having issues with pulling the fuse and then the brake lights wouldn't work at all.
Lt8Che.. did you at any point ground out throttle bodies after you installed grounding kit?
Ive had my for over a year now, but I haven't touched TB's, curious if it has any positive effect on response?

I had my grounding kit but didn't ground the throttle bodies. Not sure if that would make too much of a difference. The grounding kit is off now. My builder took it off when he was finishing my engine (simplicity).

GTM also removed my grounding wires when they did the Super Charger on my car. I drove it for years without them and then just reinstalled them recently and forgot how much of a difference they make with the reaction times and sharpness of the shifting, especially when using the paddle shifters.
I don't think you would notice much of a difference with your Lever 10 tranny build, but on my stock tranny with upgraded valve body the ground lines definitely seem to make a noticeable difference.

Couple of 1/4 mile runs on the track. Trap speed is nice and high. 127-130. Killing it at the end of the track, still need to get the 60ft down significantly. Thinking about drag radials...
