Can't wait to get her fired up. All the bell and whistles of the SM4.
Auto tune
Launch control
Anti-lag
Flat shift
A/C control
Boost control
Cooling fan control
Data logging
Internal 3 bar map sensor
Precise control of large injectors at small injector opening requirements, just to name a few of the fine fearures. Phoooooeeeeeeee
Now I just got to go pull the Haltech loom from the car and start the rewiring.

All things considered, it turned out very well!
Did the paint issues get resolved? It seems a great many body shops are not happy about doing full repaints, they like the paycheck involved, but not the work. Insurance work has spoiled too many good ppl in the business, imo, they get way too much money for small production jobs.
Fc body panels are so damn thin to begin with, it takes weeks of work to try and make the panels flat and then more time to block the base coat flat before the clear. Aluminum hoods are the worst once anyone uses body putty on one there is little chance of it even looking straight and smooth again.

Paint situation still not resolved yet. The guy told me get the car running and then take it to him. I guess he is tired of pushing the car.
