Building of The Mistress
Got a bit more done today, built trans cooler lines, installed SYA bars, FMIC, wired up trans cooler fan, ran all wires from inside to engine, ran wire from alt to fuse block, relocated alt, got a new black alt so this one is just for mock up. Installed procharger belt, pipes from procharger to FMIC with red BOV, and plug wires with DEI heat sleeve.

Just read the whole thread. Awesome set up!
OP, do you mind taking better shots of the NO vapor kit you have on there? If like to see how it's all routed/fittings if you don't mind. I need to buy one but want would rather see installed pics before spending 250 bucks on one!
Thanks!

Yes I am stoked I am getting so close. I started bleeding the brakes today and radiator. Built a switch panel to go were the radio used to be. Just have small things left to do now.
Got a few more things done this week, trimmed dash pad, bled radiator and brakes, installed meth kit, windshield going in Tues and hoping to get driveshaft this week then can finally drive car. Took a quick pic of the bird outlined in pink light, 1 of 3 places there is pink on the car for the wifey.

Verdad Gallardo Had a small photoshoot yesterday.
1. I know the car rides a bit high but with the big and lil's it sits a lot better.
2. A lot of people have been fussing about the bird blocking airflow, I only leave bird in there for car shows, when at the track I remove the bird for better flow into intercooler.

Got the exhaust done on the car today, 3 1/2 inch all the way back. V-bands on the front for easy removal if needed to an H-pipe then to Borla XR-1 mufflers dumped at axle
First dyno pull, 93 no meth, not a lot of timing, ended up maxing out my 80lb injectors and dual 255 pumps. Swapped out to new dual 450's and 110lb injectors, will be back on the rollers mid-march and this time actually be able to use the meth, we hit 13lbs so far and should hit right around 20lbs when done.
How she sounds with the tune
Have done a few more small mods so far
Strange drag brakes for the rear
Moser gun-drilled 35 spline axles and lightweight spool
Ordered parachute and mount
Made a small decal for the front air dam for when my wheels are up
Had to rep for my tuner and also put on his decal

93 and no meth, very first pull made 663, he says his dyno reads insanely low and on another one it should be around 850, so we are hoping when I go back next week to be around 1k when said and done
Finally got back on the dyno with the new pumps and injectors. This time we had belt slip at 14-15lbs but still pulled off just under 900hp. The belt slip was due to me having a belt that was .5 inches too long, so I ordered a shorter gates green belt this time and that will fix the problem. I should then see 18-20lbs and closer to 1k hp. First track test will be April 3rd. Not the best videos but better than nothing.
