F*** racetronix and their sh**y a** fuel tube... such bull**** I try to do things right with plastic tube for e85 and it bites me
Swapped it out for SAE 30R10 submersible hose
I had to do a mini drop of the trans though, still bolted to bell housing and clutch and trans lines connected along with shifter, but ready to come all the way out besides that... well worth the effort to reach that cross over tube between the tanks along with the internal plastic lines.

The car is running awesome, over 200 miles so far... The only issue was that I removed the original ProCharger Proflow bypass valve by the blower outlet and used my 1 Tial 50mm on the top intercooler end tank till I could get a 2nd tial welded on to the 90* off the blower. Since I just had 1 valve in use, I replaced my '12psi' spring with a '2psi' spring to vent air better. This totally jacked up the MAF readings though and caused drivability issues. Today I got the 2nd tial welded (2psi spring) and replaced my IC end tank bov spring with the old 12psi. The car drives 1000x better. The filter still keeps it fairly quiet so it doesn't sound like a street sweeper.

Just seeing how your build is holding up. I will be at the TX2K15 this coming year in my F2 Cog Procharged 454 LS Iron Dart Block, Circle D Max built 6L80E, Supervette.com sponsored Dark Knight Edition C6 Grand Sport Corvette. Hope to see you there. Here are my pics.

I am the owner of BBR Performance south of Houston TX. I did everything myself with every picture to prove it just like this guy with his Vette. Very impressive. I work so much that it's just hard to do it fast. I will fire mine up this week. Just building me a car to represent BBR @ the TX2K15 and Toy Drives, Shows, ect.

Thank you for the compliments on my build but this guy deserves the praise for not only doing it once, but twice!!! I saw the new icharger, but have shown no real interest in wanting to control my boost. Too much technology there. Kinda takes away from the fun. I'll post a video of my startup maybe this weekend. As for turning the wrenches myself....I saved alot of money doing it myself. Alot!
