FYI: I confirmed with Joe(2005SSR6Speed) yesterday that we WILL be re-working the wiring harness to clean up the engine bay

I'm not exactly sure I should ditch the whole setup over a finish issue but thanks for the thought

Everything looks great, Grip! I guess we're both back at it. Gotta say that I'm jealous of the 4l80e. I'm still running the 4L60E and definitely looking at that upgrade option maybe at the end of the year. I think Speed Engineering has as kit I can make work. You're definitely ahead of the game with one already installed.
