Just so there is no confusion, the cold pipe is going up to the TB, not to the turbo.

As long as this one gets finished, it'll be a Sick car! Even better, this build is a Trans Am!

What a difference in the T/A and the camaro. The interior and build quality are different. People that have owned both and taken apart both know what i am talking about.

Should be done by next week (waiting on elect. fans, gaugepod, etc.).

Yeah man, there's almost no comparison between the two, can honestly say that first hand! It seems to carry over with the other vehicle lines as well such as their trucks....

The interior and just how the nose is held on... the T/A appears to have twice as many fasteners... the fit at the seams seem so much tighter. this is a comparison between LT1 fbodies... don't know how the newer noses are held together.

Just an update... made a ton of progress installing the kit. A few things left before I fire it up:

1. Install gauge pod and run wires for it (Innovative WB, electric FP, and electric boost gauges).

2. Install fuel injectors and fuel sender (for the gauge) on the fuel rail

3. Reinstall valve covers with vaccum lines to connect to the catch can.

4. Reinstall all the coolant lines to the radiator.

5. Finishing running the lines for the alky kit.

Hopefully will fire it up next weekend. I still need somew misc. fittings for the sender on the fuel rail.
