This is going to be installed by the ZFDOC which I think is the best person I can think of to detrmine the shift points. I have ask him to record the shift points so I can pass them on to the community. Car is already over there while in LA for the RH tensioner upgrade.

Sounds good!

Update:
New heater core is installed
Harlan shift light installed (even amidst reports of inaccuracies with the LT5 ignition)
Clarion keyless entry installed, integrated with stock security system
Arc KS125.4 Class-H Amp installed in driver's side cargo well (above ABS/FX3)
Image Dynamics 8" Subwoofers installed in stock rear locations (fabricated new mounting plates from 1/4" MDF)
Image Dynamics 5.25" Coaxially mounted Components installed in custom MDF front enclosures
Alpine CDA-W925EHI installed in dash
Ensolite and RAAMmat installed throughout body and doors
94-96 inner door panel supports installed, with 94-96 Lock actuators (PT288 wiring pigtail needed if anyone's interested)
Dash and dash pad reinstalled
* - Note - Forward edge of dash pad was separating from plastic frame - used gorilla glue and small black trim screws to repair, then covered with strip of ensolite matching curvature of leading edge. Eliminated wavy appearance nicely.

Console reinstalled
Carpets reinstalled
Halo panel changed from stock dark gray to 94-96 black
Speaker covers re-covered in gray speaker cloth instead of stock carpet

Can you snap a picture of this when you get a chance?

I want to see how well it fits

Sure, I'll get a pic soon. It's snug, but it just barely fits, with enough room for a pair of crossovers and wiring.

94-96 Door panels and hush panels installed, headunit installed. Speaker covers redone in black speaker cloth.

did you recove the OEM Dash pad on the Pass side with the vinyl or did you make the the 94-96 lower hush panel work?

I hacked up the OEM lower dash plastics to enable the 94-96 passenger side hush panel fit. It's not perfect, there's a 1/8" gap, but it looks decent. I'd like to figure something else out, I think it'll probably involve obtaining a 94-96 dash frame and grafting some bracketry over to the early dash.

Where is the gap? I wanted to do that as well (carpet on that side is crappy and has been dyed) a couple close up shots would be nice if you could

I would just have to find a torch red panel somewhere

The gap is on either side, where the black dash pad meets the gray lower hush panel. I could probably fill it in with some caulking or something if I wanted to be a real redneck

I'll head out to the garage for some pics... brb.
