It's good that you're working out all these kinks now, before they cause damage at least.

Good eye as always Randy, yes that is a kevlar Recaro from a RS-Limited. I only have the one unfortunately. I picked it up a couple of years ago when there wasn't many around. I was tempted when pairs started showing up earlier this year but shipping is such a pain. For now I have a SPG for the passenger.
It seems like my fuel problems are over now that the new injector is in. I want to do a few more test miles but it's looking promising. Another thing I did at the same time was replace the fuel pump relay since that was on my list. There have been numerous reports of LS swap fuel pumps (Walbro like mine and DW) straining the relay. But apparently the relay is over rated and causes the main relay to fail. Cure seems to be wiring a new relay directly to the battery.
For the sake of convenience I mounted a 30A relay to the antenna mount next to the battery. I connected it to the battery via a 30A inline fuse and used 12GA wire to send the power to the fuel pump. The short term solution was to use the old blu/red 12v wire to activate the relay. This isn't ideal since now I have 2 fuel pump relays but I didn't want to deal with running wires front to back. I'll clean it up later. For now this should prevent any issues.

I have a set coming on a slow banana boat from Japan, maybe get them next year. I have always wanted them, finally got a set when all those pairs starting showing up.
I really love your build man, I had reading your thread it keeps pushing me back over the fence to go V8. Maybe I should just build a V8, but everyone is telling me to order all the parts in first, otherwise it takes too long to build. And I already have like zero free time

I initially planned on 1 year for the build with my very limited time but I'm at 2 years now. That includes many weeks of not touching anything. Given how little time in have small problems equal weeks or months to resolve. The leaky slave probably cosy me a month since I had to r&r the engine and this fuel trim issue was good for a few weeks.
The swap itself is pretty easy but definitely time consuming. I bought things in stages but it depends on your plan and where you are going to get parts. The new LFx swap is very interesting too. About the same power and price as a ls1 but much newer. Good condition ls1's are getting hard to find unless you rebuild at which point you might get close to ls2/3 prices. Lfx trans is smaller than t56 also which means no tunnel mods which saves time and welding.
I had a 200hp turbo and that was definitely fun, this 400hp v8 is ridiculous. Even at 50% throttle which is as high as I've gotten.

Did another short test drive to work out the bugs. My clutch was removed from a brand new Z06 so it only had delivery miles. I still need to break it in so I'm not pressing it, but it's difficult to not step on it a little
The drivetrain seems good so far. A couple issues I'm tackling now are my reverse light not working and front wheel bearings. I didn't have my GV reverse light hooked up prior but it's pretty straight forward. I put in a new Ford reverse light switch into the T56 so that may be the source. Also my front wheel bearings are on their way out. Unfortunately I didn't find the time to repack them before they started squealing so I have a new pair coming in that I'll repack with Amsoil grease.
