So far, 5 years and no issues. I did have one fall.

Phil - do you think those TRZ lowers would work for a Camaro or would the radius for the LCAs be too different?

Be careful, they are setup for a 15 degree angle on the lower control arm, and are 3" ID.

Thanks for the info, that's exactly what I needed. I'll call and talk to them when I get closer to building my housing.

You Will love the switch to methanol. Spools so much quicker and i had 15% more power then E85 on the same boost.

Do you still run the intercooler or are you going to ditch it?


If anyone is interested in my old Aeromotive Eliminator fuel pump and some fittings let me know. Its barely used as we never really got a chance to test with the 2nd fuel system. Its maybe ran for a total of 1-2 minutes.

No intercooler. Saved over 120 lbs!

Man if this stang wasn't bad *** enough, now it's going to be fueled by alcohol. What kind of power increase numbers wise do you think you will see phil? Or to make it easy what are you e.t. goals? You gonna try and ****** that 4.58 record away from our local boy Kevin? He is doing the same upgrades you are right now. He's going methanol and ditching the Fast for BS3 and 225 and 500 lb. injectors along with other air flow and data logger upgrades.

Who knows. Some people say alcohol is worth some power under the curve and none on top, some say its more for consistency. We'll find out in a few months. Both cars can go faster there is no question about that.

Slowly getting there....
Rear end fabrication is done and its painted, just need to assemble the rear end
Built a 3/8" stub driveshaft for the fuel pump
Got the new fuel pump mounted and ready to go
Joe simpson is working on a 3 gallon methanol fuel cell
Intercooler pipe is done
Joe O. sent me some Moran 500# injectors to go along with the Precision 220s I currently have

Fuel tank is going to be 3 gallons, anodized, 1.25" outlet to the fuel pump

Still need to get my tranny freshened up
Intake O-ringed
Pickup a Peterson -12 to 4 (-8) distribution block

I didn't want to do a bunch over the winter so its pretty close to running once I get the fuel tank. I also am going to pull the motor and work on the drive side shock tower to gain more clearance for plug access.

Nice work Phil. Us southern boys like to work on our cars during the summer and drive them in the winter. Although its hot as hell working on it, its not much fun to drive even with ac. Cruising with the windows up isn't fun. Winter is more fun.

Looks Awesome Phil, just make sure you dont rush. I want to see what this girl is capable of when you finish putting the final touches on it...
I hope you have had time to spend with the wife and little one this off season cause once that thing is ready it will be game on, all the haters will be set on kill Phil...

Nothing big, just working along. Did some small stuff
- replaced the rotors
- fixed a rubbing issue with the rear brakes
- BS3 is back and installed
- tore down the glide this morning to fix the front seal, check the band and clutches, everything looks brand new, had some very very minor scoring on one piece but nothing major.
- started plumbing the fuel system, its going to be a plumbing headache but its almost done
- Shawn is going to O-ring the intake manifold
- the fuel tank is almost done

It's amazing to me that those things handle so much power without a problem...

Any ideas on a power goal next year?
