James. Very impressive. you said you were concerned about reliability. With this setup so far do what do you anticipate as far as performance for daily drining? Is this a daily driver for all around city and frwy driving or intended for high performance or both. Sounds like a fun car for a daily driver if it is mild enough. What would be expected quarter mile time do you think for a car with this engine and good street tires? Thanks for your time.

Thank you everyone for the kind comment. 
Here you go.
I'll have some professional photoshoot of this car coming up soon. I'll work on the video as soon as I have some times.
I totally went way over the intended budget when I decided to rebuilt this car from top to bottom. But I was happy with the result. So it make it worth it.
Lets see this is mostly parts money. I did most of the labor myself.
Rebuilt and upgrade motor with all new wiring harness and fuel system $3000
Supercharger $4000
Rebuilt and upgrade transmission and Torque converter $2000
Megan coilvers $800
Vip modular wheels/tires $4000
Interior $1500
Exterior paint and body work $5800
Lights, Grills, and extra stuff $800
Total = $21900
and still in counting.
Damn should have bought a new car. LOL
Thank you. This is just for daily driven and cruising. I'm not building this for high performance. I have my SC for that. So far the car runs like a champ. No issue yet. Power is great. I can enter the freeway with ease. I have to slow down when merging in. Not like before when the car is struggle to get to 65 mph. It really hauls when you WOT.
Got your molding like you asked me to. Check your PM.

Nice nice. Looks sharp! Wonder how the tails would look a bit tinted. Never really liked the white color on them. Got myself a set but not installed them. Wanna do some modding to them.
Hehe this sure is a pricey hobby 8-) im not sure i want to find out what i have used on mine. Its not as much as yours at all, but damn all those things you just GOT TO HAVE 8-)
Its funny, i just bought same color caliper paint as yours today. Gonna paint my Supra TT brakes next week.
Well very nice work you did on your LS. Its not a new car, but you made it look like it just came out of the factory (with modifications of course) ;-) I'm sure people are turning heads ;-)
