Bought some u-joints, cut the ends off my stock steering shafts and welded the joints on. Got rid of any slop from the worn out upper joint and the stock collapse still works.
Still need to paint it...
I have since finish welded everything, just need to put in some O2 bungs, start running my cold side piping, and plumb in my Boost Controller.
I have a 4AN Feed line coming from the little oil tree area on the drivers side pan, and I welded in a 12AN bung into the Front timing cover for a drain
Had to cut out some of the inner fender to make room for an air filter. Still waiting on an R2C Black Hex to show up, so I can get out on the road and start tuning...
Haven't updated in a while:
-I got air filter setup done
-Painted all of the hotside with Rustoleum Grill Paint
-Wrapped all of the hotside with the lava wrap
-Installed a line lock
-Tried running a Lingenfelter 2 step but after two boxes I talked with the LPE engineer and he said its a known problem that it doesnt work with some transmissions (would have been nice to know that before buying it)
-Bought an MSD 2 step
-A bunch of new gauges and switch panel to control stuff
-Forever Sharp Steering wheel
-A bunch of other small things as well
-Have been to the track a few times and slowly have turned the boost up to about 11-12PSI still on 91 octane
-Got some M/T Pro Bracket Radials for the track
Best time at the track so far was an 11.24@121 but with a 1.74 60' so hoping to improve on that this weekend. Then will install a cage and switch to E85 to make some real power over the winter to try for 9.99 next year.
WOW. excellent job. I really like the turbo-frame mount.
Thanks man, its very solid.
Working on the Denmah sloppy transbrake and am hitting the track again on Friday to hopefully get into the 10s. (if I don't blow something up in the process haha)
