Absolutely love your car.
These swaps are a pure example of 'you get out what you put in' and yours really seems to be upper echelon. It must feel very rewarding to drive; congratulations.

I'm much less worried about destroying this thing on hard launches now. If anything, it gives me more confidence to rip on this thing without worry. The 285 re71r's grab pretty hard.

Looks great! People have laid down A LOT of power at the strip through the upgraded FD pumpkin. So, you should be in great shape. The primary reason people switch to the 8.8 is for wide gearing selections. I bet that LS is a lot of fun with FD gearing and fat tires.

Added a racebred performance front splitter with mounts. Very well made for the FD and fits great, detaches in seconds with quick release

Then drove it around and took some more photos.
