That wiring doesn't look like much fun.

Phil, this may be a dumb question, but why do you run the rear steam ports forward and not just capped off?

Its really not that bad if you run a single component at a time. If you try to run everything up front at once it gets confusing.

They actually flow a good bit of water out of all 4 of the ports, adding them gets rid of any hot spots around the combustion chamber.

That would work fine, we have no issues where we need to change it.

Car is looking really good. I love the fact how everything is documented. I always wanted to do that on cars I built and always get in such a hurry to start forget about taking photos.
I went back to the very post of this build and the car has came along way from the original build goals. I cant wait to see the track results for the new setup.

Going into work late today so I got some stuff done this morning, Got the molding,seals and all the lexan installed this morning. Pulled the dry sump and switched over 2 fittings and got it back up in the car. New hose ends will be here tomorrow so I can get the dry sump/oiling system buttoned up. Got the ARC switch panel installed for the final time and ran the connection wire down to the relay board. Got the tranny filled with fluids and knocked out the rear end also. Coolant system is filled with distilled water and redline. Tomorrow we should get the motor oil from Brad Penn and a bunch of little stuff to finish the engine bay.

One fuel system is done, one is 1/2 way done. The oil and coolant systems are done. Just need to make a bracket for the fuel filter under the intake, relocate the ignition coil, do the wiring and a couple small things.

Goal is....
1.12-1.15 60'
3.14-3.17 330'
