A lot of the stuff we are trying -- I just hope all this is goes to **** on the first weekend. I don't have the big money some people do (not that you do, I'm just saying money is tight) or else I would have a much much better engine set-up.
On the injectors -- I'm a rookie at this stuff; Joey at Excessive is doing the build. He has done a lot of build around here, but this will be the fastest of the shop cars. Best is out of a Mustang, running twin 76's on E-98. Full body, weights 3800+, best run is 8.72 at 169.
It's a big wait and see game.

David if it wouldnt be too much trouble could you snap some more pics of the downpipe and where it exits the car? im toying with different DP routing ideas and looking at everybodys setups for inspiration. although mines a street car with a single 76 lol

Phil not sure of the exact size. I got it from a rad shop in Iowa that specializes in rad of any size you want. It is a double core, double flow - supposedly it circulates twice through both cores before it goes back through the block. Not sure how it works. I have had it for 5 years and seems to work great. I've never had a problem with over heating -- YET. Never seen a radiator lay down before, and we have not tested it yet. Another - I guess we'll see if it works. We had no other place to put it. The water pump is not you 'normal' pump either.
I'll try to get a picture of the down pipe "soon".

Takes for the post Drew. Who knew that they are on E-bay now. Didn't work on the SS today. If things go right, we are hoping to start powering up the different electrical systems tomorrow

Going to be using the MLS from GM. We have run lines from the heads through the rad to help.

Phil, what brand are you using - double o-ring?
Cars - we have yet to fire up the car. No idea how loud it will be. We'll see on the fender melting.

We're using a chunk of copper for a headgasket, its ******* thick and double o-rings. I've ran it to 42# off boost and it went 163 @ 9:8:1 A/F, tuned the boost back to 35 and leaned it out to 11:1 and it went 164 and change. It shows no signs of leaking at 42#. We'll turn it up to 47-50 with the new changes we made.
