I put the kit up for sale, going to go a little bigger for next year if the kit sells. If it doesn't sell I'll just keep it and run it next year, it's got enough for 7's with this kit.

Turbo kit is sold, going to switch to 7675's for next year with no intercooler, dual fuel setup(87 octane and methanol), rear mount radiator, and drag radials. Idea is to be able to drive to the track, not have to pack any ice or anything, be able to hotlap it and run 7's and cruise on 87 octane and get decent gas mileage.

The Methanol will be a real challenge as a fuel, you will likely need a mechanical fuel pump to deliver the volume and pressures needed. But once you get it working you could switch to M5 methanol and make some real power.
When we ran Methanol as our secondary fuel it just became a pain in the *** to deal with. And it seemed we lifted the heads (detonation) on the dyno easier than the E85.
We had the transition from gas to Methanol good, a problem we ran into was the transfer back to the gas system on deceleration.
Cool setup for sure.

methanol as a fuel
315/60/15 when not limited to class rules and for the slower street stuff, otherwise a 275/60 pro for the track, and the 10.5w for the serious street stuff

The ability to run no intercooler with no worries is the big reason I did the change over to methanol. Thanks for the heads up on the switch back from methanol to gas, we had some issues at first on the swich over back from e98 to pump, but a few tricks/changes in the tuneup fixed that so I think we'll be able to do it ok.

That new combo is gonna scoot!!! Twin 7675's power the worlds fastest LS car!
Yeah methanol as a fuel, seems once your on the meth proper? Theres no going back.... Id like to do something similar I was working on a dual injector plan for a while but with a stock ECM its.... tricky. Holley Pro? Shouldnt be too hard

Ordered the 7875 .96 thanks to Huron for a good deal, also ordered bov's / wastegates from them. Vic Jr intake ordered and sent to Blake at 417motorsports to get the 16 injector setup done and plan to run 2 injectors in the charge pipe to assist with fueling and help keep iats down some.
Car goes to the chassis shop in a week or two, getting new lighter kmember/a-arm setup, motorplates, mid plate, tubing front end. Hoping to be 50/50 front/rear ratio with no ballast.
Once I get it back, maxxmitchell and I will start cutting out for the turbo kit and start building the kit with hanging the turbos behind the front tires.
