Run a cutout in the intermediate pipe if you lose too much with the full exhaust.
Our weather improved a bit and have been driving mine a bit more lately.

I think he has tex single and thought it would likely hold for a bit.
I had tex twin but was not overly impressed by it. I would go for spec twin I think or maybe mcleod clutch if was still six speed but swapped out to 4l80 and pretty happy with that.

because for the price of a new twin i could have a TH 350/400 made instead.
im going to go auto but i wanted the car up and running before i did the swap.
ill drive the car on low boost for now and this winter (when i have my house and a shop to work in) ill do the swap and then the boost will go way up

Where did you end up setting on for a tune? There are PLENTY of dyno places around the area here. I am finally locating the parts I need to get mine back together and hopefully on the road this season. It's been a hell of a frustrating rebuild this spring..... Hope yours runs well for ya!

Tom, you deserve a pat on the back for completing this build (close enough) and not giving up. I'm working with a similar setup that includes a UMI K-member, but mine looks different than the one your using.
What part number is yours? Thanks in advance.

Thanks! Didn't recall him ever mentioning which one it was and noticed that it looked pretty close to my UMI one and thought they might be one in the same. I'll probably just suffer and keep what I have, cause I don't have an extra $500 laying around to switch.

i know the feeling about the cash and the BMR aps k-member is $600

but it did save me alot of BS in the end the inlets to the turbos fit WAY better than before

lol i remembered you are running it cuz i never knew BMR made one especially for you APS guys until i saw yours Tom. I then did a little reasearch so i guess it just stuck.

I think 650whp, but you should turn the boost up

well you made mid 600whp on the old set up so i am thinking your about right with the 800whp marker. Cant wait to hear what it makes and go for a ride, the car sounds wicked running the other day. Still gotta get mine back together this weekend and still waiting on rod bolts to come in to.
