Sounds great. A little more info on your set-up. Turbo size, engine mods, etc. Street or street/strip?

Very nice...

Number one what a noisy fuel pump... lol guess I've never heard one quite so noisy.

Very nice setup and clean install man.
Gotta love old cars with new technology. Don't get me wrong though, old motors are more then cool.

nice sleeper idle! That fuel pump is crazy loud though

What are your goals with the car? What does it weigh?

It should rip!

yea the aeromotive fuel pump is going to go, its insanely loud. Im going to build an aluminum tank and put a couple intank ones in there, or something different.

When I weighed it last it had a procharged big block in it, at 3450lbs. Im not sure what it is now.

Im not sure what its going to do yet, its kinda all experimental for me.

Very nice. Your pump sounds like my old Weldon 2025. It bugged me so I sold it and now have twin external pumps.

that ringing sound (scraping sound) in the engine bay is that aluminum elbow I made, the air going through it.. sounds kinda weird.
