I believe with the right tuning, this setup should take me into the 9's. Hopefully after I'm able to upgrade the turbo and injectors, the plan is to be in the 8 second club.

The radiator hoses are kind of random. The driver side I don't recall exactly what one was used. Just went with one from the local parts store that looked similar to the fit we needed.
The passenger hose was fabbed to fit basically. We couldn't find a hose to work, so we cut to ends and made a fitting for them to connect on the middle.

You can see where we clamped it together on the lower hose.

This is what I got for the rear end internals. But I called and changed the gears to 3.27.
$999

This is the rear end brace kit I'm using from team z.
$219

This is the rear end suspension I'm using, also from team z.
$745

And these are the rear coilovers I'm running, from UPR. Paired with strange 10 way shocks.
$438

Thank you!
I can't wait either. It's going to be such a tease for a while as I have to break the motor in.

I have a 2003-04 cobra tank that I'm swapping in. I didn't want the pumps on the outside of the tank, and this option lets me put up to three pumps on the hat.

This is the 03-04 cobra style tank that's going in. We're making a second vent tube to go in place of where the factory one would go.

Just depends on what you want to do with it. I thought it would be cool to have the pumps inside of the tank vs outside and making a lot of noise. But everyone is different.
