Not yet.
No problem. That's why I laid out everything I went through, may save someone some hassle.
Depending on my work load I'm planning on finishing the wiring on the car over the long weekend coming up. Part of that being the boost control solinoids, Holley 3.5 screen, and the flex fuel sensor as with v4 software you can go full flex fuel.
I ran the car on the dyno yesterday on spring pressure which is 6psi. It did a lot better then I expected for the boost. 26* of timing, 6psi, on e85.

Making a bunch of changes to the car. I put it on the scales and found out it had a 57/43 weight bias. Not ideal at all, specially for a street car. I was having a hard time getting it to hook up.
So my remedy was to sell the turbo kit, cut off the front of the car, tube it, and put a 10 point cage in it. Along with build a new, more weight efficant kit.
The car made 675 on 14psi, at only 5000 rpm before the dome pressure sensor took a dump on me. I feel like that might of been a 700hp pull.
But anyways, here the car currently.
High ram, 105mm tb, with the 417 inner cooler, with billet water rails
Heat exchanger...
Bad *** t6 merge I picked up.
I also switched over to a dominator ecu, and put a flex fuel sensor on it. Haven't had the chance to really figure all of that out yet. Put I'll post results when I do.

It's been sitting at the chassis shop since the first week of February pretty much how you see it in the last pic I posted.
In fact it's been gone so long I had forgotten I owned it until someone asked me how it was coming along.
I guess I'm just over it.

Is this the pic that shows the miter cut? Do you have a shot of the passenger manifold welded to the exhaust pipe? It looks like the exhaust flow hits the pipe straight on before being redirected. I'm trying to get a better idea of how it was done since I'm planning a similar project. Thanks.

I don't believe it's a miter cut. I believe it was cut just as the tube turned and then slips inside the manifold its self.

Some stuff finally got done on the car. The main hoop, and halo for the cage are in. The 990 bars are there, but not fitted yet.
These pics are from a week ago, and I was promised it be done today. But the car still sits like this. Oh well.

The car is prettt close to being done. I'm due to pick it up next week Friday. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
i picked up a bunch of cool stuff for the car. Should look like a totally different car when it's done.
