What are your goals with the car, as of now? I assume mid to low 9's at least?

Ya, goal is to run solid 9.60-9.70's on pump gas. Then when this motor shells out, put a killer short block in it and max this turbo out and really get at it.

Finished up the top radiator hose. Aluminum tubing and had to weld on a 90* tube off radiator to clear charge pipe. Then welded in a bung for the steam tube to vent into and welded it at a 45* angle with flow to help prevent against back flow from main pipe.
