Looks like a fun setup! If you plan to re wire the car, we have a direct fit wiring harness coming out early next year for those.

Whats the deal with the injectors? I've been looking for a cheaper set of 80#ers.

Drive the car awhile and it vapor locks





Had to wrap the fuel line too close to the headers. Hope this works

Does that T/A have a Q-jet on it? They tend to fight a lot with fuel boiling, and hot start issues.

Is that an Aeromotive regulator? Is it a boost referenced one?
