Nitrous came in
My Nitrous kit came in from Nitrous Outlet, it came with a 15# bottle.
I just have to order the Stage 3 accesory kit for it before it goes in.
The correct Bassani mufflers came in, Center in Offset out. These look better than the incorrect one. The welds on these look alot cleaner and are not rusted.
I think next on the list is the Rear end and then the Micro Edge+. I think I will get it ordered and then installed 2nd weekend in April.

I ordered the Nitrous Outlet Stage 3 accesories for my wet plate kit from Nitrous Outlet.
I am thankful for all their help, being a noob to N2o the people at Nitrous Outlet answered all my questions without making me feel like an idiot.
Posi and Gears go in Saturday, excited about that.

Quick update, I am getting the ls7 lifters and New hardend Rods this week. Eta still on target
I just hit 100 miles on the new true trac rear end and topped it off. It sucks driving like a grandma for 500 miles.

So far so good on the true trac and gears.
Thanks,
So far its feels like stock since I am driving like a grandma for 250 more miles.
Saturday I am making a run to Centerville with my 2 year old to buy some jerky at the smoke house up there and knock out rest of the break in miles and change the rear end fluid and start testing it out.
I posted a 0-70 video on youtube last month and I am going to shoot another one with the new gear and rear end. There is 0 noise from the rear end.
I still have a bit ways to go. My tranny is starting to feel wierd, while on cruise control it revs up a bit, from 1.8-1.9rpm kind of like when my 3/4 were burnt. I smelt the fluid and there is no odd smell.
I have a rebuild already planned for the 60e at the end of the summer. I am buying the rebuild kit from from Hughes Performance 'The Premium Overhaul Race Kit Box with Kolene¨ Steels' first just in case it breaks sooner than later. I am going to be upgrading the planatary and gearsets as well while we are in there.
I wish it was already may so I could have my swap done. I keep changing the completion date but only because I am adding more tp the build.
