The diff is only in black etch primer as I still have to weld on brake line brackets and parachute mount before I paint it

This things beautiful!

Just the only thing i suggest is those eliminator pumps dont last on the street. I ran threw two with the pump controller on a vette with a 8 feed 8 return and a aeromotive 027-13110 regulator in less than a month. Aeromotive just gave me two new a1000's which have been great now for two years and going. Also you got enough regulator for two of those? Thats whole lotta fuel.

Dont think im hating on the Eliminator pumps they are great pumps, i made over 1000 on e85 without a hiccup. Just street duty got them too hot within 30mintues of run time.

Thanks for the input. I am only running one pump on a speed controller and the other only comes on with boost (controlled by the ecu) Aeromotive assure me that the pumps will have a long life on the street if set up this way (we will see )
Both pumps output -10 into a single -12 line to the rail and a -10 return line
You noticed the reg I'm using the 13110 I just hadn't updated the pic

Is that really where the exhaust is terminating or is that just temporary? If so, even your temporary stuff looks finished!
