Your fuel rail plumbing was unexpected......
I'd think you would need a parallel plumb at your power level????
How are you setup again????
Won't that heater hose plumbing bypass the stat?

Steve did a little surgery on my harness today and cleaned it up for me.
Dominator
Got the bung for the steam ports welded in and welded lower rad core support in. I think I'll pick up a little clearance despite the radiator having a thicker core. The stocker was wider and taller. Because of the width, I was hung up on the humps up top.
Went to replace the slip yoke today on the drive shaft and both u joints were toast. I only had one so just need one more and I can get the drivetrain back together.
Should have it back in the car tomorrow night. I need to get a cap made to hold the top of the radiator. Then I just gotta come up with a cold air system, cap the notch in the frame and get the wiring finished up for the Holley. Should be ready to fire it up by Saturday or Sunday unless there are any unexpected setbacks.

That's where my turbo inlet ends up facing. I could only fit a really small filter and was melting them every couple weeks. Sucking hot air from behind the radiator and above the hot pipe. Now I can run a silicone coupler to an aluminum pipe into the fender with a big filter sucking in cooler ambient air. Should drop charge temps a good bit.

Kinda of figured that but had to ask. When I had my car running with the 6 speed I ran a filter set-up but since then I have ditched it and it has done ok so far. Temps are right at ambient but I run meth so thats the biggest part. Does the holley unit control any factory stuff or do you have to piggy back that with the stock pcm? IF you want to retain some factory stuff?

The correct way to do it is to either buy the Holley programmable gauges and get creative with the cluster,like BonnarLS1 did
Or figure out a way to mount their new LCD Touchscreen in the console like a RacePak. It will display 6 gauges at a time. This is what I intend to do.

I'm not exactly sure, but there's a way to remove the top half of the sensor the normal way everyone breaks them and tap them for a fitting.
EDIT: On the new Holley EFI systems is there the capacity for a 16 injector setup?
Longblocks together. Also, a buddy came over with the plasma cutter to notch out my frame so I can build a cold air intake and put a big filter on it. I was limited to a very small filter picking up hot air directly behind the radiator.
I'm in no rush at this point as I ran into a small delay. The Holley EFI harness does not support the stock oil pressure sending unit and, of course, the hole is a crazy thread size (16mm X 1.25) that needs adapted to a regular 1/8 npt pressure sending unit. Hopefully Murray's will have the fitting Monday for me.

If you go to 1:30 in this video, that's about the best idle sound I can find. That's with the cutout open (thru one muffler) and idling about 900-950 RPMs. It's not loud or lumpy. I like to creep up on my pray. With the cutout closed it goes thru a second muffler and reduces to 3" so it's VERY quiet. Like bone stock or quieter.

Looks like you get alot of tire seperation after the launch.

I'm not sure. I do know that the injector harness is separate from the engine harness. Maybe that's why they did it this way.

I'm pretty sure that was from the splines being twisted in my slip yoke. Had my rear suspension in a bind. I was having major traction issues that day and the track was VERY sticky. Normally, the more power you put to my car, the bigger the wheelie. I've resolved the spline twist problem with a new forged slip yoke. The normal 1350 slip yokes can't take the 1.30 60's at 3900#'s.

i wish holley would display the gauges in their software so we could buy our own screen or not even have one, instead of forcing the user to have to buy their gauges or touchscreen.
the manual does not even mention a way for me to use my existing auto meter tach or wideband gauge with the holley.

I agree that it would be nice if the Holley had a Gauge cluster display in the pc software but this touchscreen does alot more than just show gauges. You don't need a laptop to tune at all if you buy the touchscreen. It also logs to an SD card and can display activation switches. I'm ordering mine on Monday and will give some feedback as soon as I get it all figured out. The main reason that I decided to get it is because you can burn up $550-600 on 6 gauges. My only issue is going to be mounting it. I may have to make a plate that's flush mounted to the plastic cluster bezel rather than the stock recessed look. We'll see.
She's almost ready. Everything's back together. I still need to fill up the fluids, trans filter, put the trans pan back on, plugs and wires. Steve is going to finish up the wiring tomorrow. Should have ignition by Monday at the latest.
You should see the wideband correction. We were having a voltage problem with LS2Formulas car that was causing the pump to run down to 34 psi (should be at about 65 psi), and the correction was hanging the injectors open keeping it from going lean. We're talking about a 170+ MPH pass in the 1/4. I was most impressed.
