Glad it all worked out for you Mick. It feels good to now you're legally cruising around in one of a handfull of registered LS1 Zed's in Australia.

Hopefully you'll have those flash wheels on soon to finish it off nicely......

Oops, sorry about that ::)

I was using Hawk racing pads, a compound or 2 up from the Hawk Blues. Worked really well if you are prepared to replace rotors every 2 sets of pads and a lot of noise and obviously a bit of dust. At least they are carbon metallic pads and not asbestos... :o

Had great weekend at Powercruise car ran perfect new Federal RSr tyres hooked up great New wheels looked trick New radiator and fan combo kept car cool all weekend in hot 30 c (IT IS TASSIE)
New twin 3" exhaust sounded great and fairly sure it let a few extra hp out Lower 4.3 lsd diff finally made 6th gear useful on highway can sit on 115km now at 1800 revs and car is happy plus it sure pulls harder off the line even with the 18" rims

Video of car on utube cruising the track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6cs0GEObc8 have a look

and the new twin 3" exhaust was damn loud out of the gonzo mufflers so ended up putting two hotdogs in plus modified lukey race muffler to accomodate the two 3" pipes sounds good and does not drone on highway
Still coming to grips with the stacked exhaust tips but best i can do with out cutting up the rear of my car it is unique

Can't beat the stacked muffler, seems to be a really tidy job and looks great too. I'll be doing the same in twin 60mm. Can you post a vid of the exhaust at idle and revving?  :)  what length are the resonators?

Put 2 screw style hotdogs in middle 12" long and another 2 under the diff which where the normal glass packed 12" hotdogs
Its loud when u punch it but nice to cruise with too would suggest bit quieter than old 2.5" system with single 2 into one muffler
