The diffuser under the rear and the front splitter were both custom made. Here are pictures of the front splitter. I don't have any of the rear diffuser, but will get some soon.
Thanks!

Lots of updates and lots of help! Too bad, I didn't get pictures of most of it because my camera is in the process of getting cleaned and well, I've been working too hard to take many pictures, so this is just a brief rundown over the past week or so, excuse the sparatic and blackberry pictures!
80 LB injectors too short, so it took us some work(per the injector supplier) on spacing...
Mark(roadkill) removing what was left of the heater/ac box:fail:... The previous owner got mopst of it, but the actually empty box was sort of just hanging there.
New shift boot installed, thanks to Coy for the help on this!
Fuel pressure regulator installed and lines hooked up. No leaks!!! With all of the oil feed/return lines and fuel lines it looks busy under the hood although I got rid of a LOT of the things he had on the car.
Wires on and being sorted for the optimum amount of bling...

Now we are getting down to business!
Head unit on
Blanked out the A/C and heater controls. Going to be moving switches from the console up to here
Completed body harness! Hooked it up yesterday and it all works!
Inside of the car being rewired the way we want it as well!
Dusty looks kind of concerned at the end of this day!!!
BIG work accomplished yesterday!
Got the complete body harness on and working 100%, installed all the supercharger piping, makde sure no leaks again in the fuel system, and got the megasquirt setup to the house. Hopefully we will hear it run in the next couple of days!
Some VERY crappy BB teaser shots!
Note the custom air intake on the top, hahaha

Thanks everyone. Its a lot of work, that's for sure. I got referred to the guy that did the MS for me, and it is working well so far. As far as the tune, I'm not too sure! I'm hoping a friend of mine who has done a few will help me out. We also have a local shop that has done a few MS setups.
It RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Horribly, but it runs. Few small issues with getting the MSD box power, but I tapped the factory dizzy wires and ran it to the red(keyed power) of the box, fixed it being 180 * out, and the plug wires hooked up incorrectly and here's what I get. I know it's not much, but for NOT even looking at the megasquirt tune yet, I'm happy for now!
Tonight it's cleaning a lot of wires, redoing the line-lock, and working on the tune!

Engine compartment complete minus a catch can! A friend and I have spent hours upon hours drinking gallons of diet coke variations and got all the wiring underhood and about 1/2 done inside the car. Next is just getting it running good. Turbocuda(from my local board) is coming down ASAP to see if we can't get this thing on the road, so that should be taken care of as well very soon.

Couple pics of the latest work... Looks simple, but it was very time-consuming.
Here I am thinking out my next move. Thankfully Mark didn't get a picture of me upside down under the dash. It is very tight under there with a 10 point cage and a seat that won't recline, tilt, slide, etc(passenger only for safety over a certain MPH). IF I had to do it again I'd take the seat out. Luckily I'm 99% done under there I hope.
Finished! Just have to mount the panel at this point, but I'll probably leave it down until the car is running good and figure out a way to make sure it's supported well.

Thanks man! Been hard getting the MS figured out, but working on it as much as possible...
Well, haven't been updating much as I've been busy trying to get Megasquirt to work right and right now it's not quite figured out. Hope to have it straight here VERY soon.
I have gotten a few things done. Interior is finished besides the MS and MSD wiring, mounted the catch can, etc.
catch can hole made
Mounted
Homemade bracket to fit under the clutch and trigger the two step
Finished switch panel

Thanks guys, have some updates....
Well, got the car mostly sorted and started tuning on it a little. Played around onthe dyno last night and after figuring out the car had WAY to much timing for this setup, bumped it down to 15* and first pull got
Have more tuning to do at this boost level(peak of 14 for just a sec) and still have a smaller pulley to throw on here. We only pulled it to 5000 so far.
If it's hard to read it made 555@4900 and 587@4800.
Bringing it home tonight to fix the starter, oil leak, etc etc and will hopefully get more dyno time in by the end of the week.
