shut up houston , you know its me 
no go back to gugging azooooz till he gets the parts we need
we finally have the radiator done and the fans connected.
we also have the interior in ( just so it looks good untill we get the the roll cage in )
don't remember if i mentioned it before but the ATI BOV is on , we just need to paint the tube to make it look pretty
and the fabrication of a blower brace is underway , it will attatch to the plate you see here to one of the holes on the side of the head.
and here's a picture of the fron of the car ( bumper trimming is not finalized yet ):
next up is bleeding the brakes ( necessary for a good burnout ), shorter serpentine belt, diff oil, and a shifter check and its burnout time !

the car went out on its maiden voyage
idled fine and drove ok , definatly needs an alignment . couldn't get on it since it wasn't tuned yet. noticed that the fans didn't come on , need to check the program first to see where they were set.
i should be getting the video soon

been a while since i posted an update , so here goes:
the car ran a bit warm when on the dyno , which turned out to be caused by the electric fans not sealing very well to the radiator (the pic above shows a single spal fan , but azooooz decided on two subaru fans instead).
the roll cage finally showed up , and we are now in the process of welding it in . the plan is to tack , or not fully weld the bars in place , then cut holes under the base of the cage so it drops a bit inorder to reach the top of the cage.
here's how it looks so far:
the other tranny cooler showed too
so that will be bolted up and the cooling fan wired too.
as soon as the cage is setup , it'll get painted , then the kirky seat goes in as well as the interior , and then the carpeting. then its off to full blown tunning

finally some progress
the roll cage is done for the most part- still need to run some tube from the main hoop to the suspension pickup plates like phill99 recomended.
interior is also already in the car along with the kirky seat.
now all thats needed is to strap it on the dyno and tune it ( that and a radiator catch can)
next step : get a wolfe rear sway bar and chute mount, fab some header extensions, and replace the gas tank with a fuel cell ( class rules changed regarding fuel cells; we can use them now )

Looks great but why is the cross bar on the main hoop of the cage so low? It should up closer to the intersect point of the door bars for triangulation and also to prevent any spinal injuries in case of a wreck.
Looks like a cool build though!

good point there, i think it was that low cause the when placing the bar it had a gap when placing it that high , then when lowering it it fit fine ( its a wolfe notched cage).
i'm assuming it will be redone soon .
any how to the juicy news
they strapped the car to the dyno, and amazingly it did 1130 rwhp on a mustang dyno !
this is with about 20 psi . it had a few issues : the car started to lean out after 5000 rpm and pressure was dropping. the pull was only to 6100 i think ( red line at 7k), and the injectors were maxed out
to tell you the truth , no one was expecting it to get that number hence the "just enough" fuel system . guess we will be upgrading to 160 lbs and a magna fuel pump since the owner doesn't want anything less than 20 psi
here is a link to the vid:

still have to add the alcohol injection to the mix , hopefully that will bandaid it till the pump and injectors show up

Awesome numbers! I can't wait to see what it does once it's not held back by the fuel system. And then most importantly, how it does at the track. This little project is giving me hope and probably too big of expectations out of my set-up.

we're taking the car out his friday to the track for a few launches to setup the suspension and practice for the owner , doubt it will do any full passes , and if it does it will be limited to 6k rpm and we will use meth.
ruf, you will reach your goals and will get the same numbers if not better! just remeber to look back at this thread and post when you do and say i told you so
wish us luck.
