Default How About SOM Whoring......????

Made a few minor updates. Wire mod, braided fuel lines, gauges. Still need to remove that emissions sticker on the fender, doesn't really apply anymore.







Look pretty good, I really should get some wheels

Looks good. Did you part the fuel lines together yourself or buy them pre-assembled?

Looks nice and don't listen to those saying to get new wheels! Those stock polished wheels are nice! I would only say get new wheels if you wanted to go wider but you could always widen the stockers.

That is one sick *** ride! I can honestly say that is one of the nicest T/As that I have personally seen on this site! I wouldn't change a thing! I really like the digital gauge you have in front of the shifter. That's pretty slick bro!

Of course my favorite part is the supercharger

They are actually 97-98 Vette fuel lines. I added the 97-98 vette return style rails and ran a new return line back to the tank, then just connected the braided lines. The length was perfect.

Catch Can? Not quite sure what you mean. Are you talking about the black block attached to the brake booster? If so that is a pressure distribution block that is spliced into the booster line. In the block I have all the vac/boost referenced items such as the bypass valve, kenne bell boost-a-pump, boost gauge, and fuel pressure regulator.

I need to re-route that booster line and make it shorter some how. It kinda sticks out like a sore thumb. It was a quick fix sorta thing.


Thanks for all the compliments, they make it all worth it
