Haven't updated this in awhile, well because I haven't had anything to update. Well got 95% of everything to get it moving again and should have it at the Holley LSFest.

Question about the Holley Hi ram, did it take any mods to fit it in there? Also how tall of cowl are you running, could you run a piece of masking tape across so we can see how far it is above the fender?

My SS Hood was stolen out of my front yard last weekend... Still pretty pissed about this so if you see a thirdgen with a Blue and black SS hood and then the underside of it has what looks like a fat "T" shape cut out of it. Please let me know.
On a plus side new 408 motor is in, Specs are:
Arias Pistons, No dish this time
Billet Rods
Billet Crank
Custom Spec Cam From Ed Hutchings
Link Bar Lifters
TFS 235 heads with a "little" work done to them
Harland Sharp Rockers
then of course topped off with the Holley Hi-Rise and a NW 102 TB.
Also decided to sump the tank and run a Holley Dominator External Pump.
Getting close to the deadline but I'm confident it'll run for LS-Fest.
"We could push it across the finish line... or tow it..."

Talk about down to the wire... Holley Dominator pump and all Lines ran to the fuel rails, then back to the regualtor then returned to the tank.
Wiring harness is in. Got a few more wires to hook up or extend.
Turbo Cold side is almost done. Few more odds and ends and hopefully fire it up today or first thing tomorrow.

Although did not finish the car in time we still took it to LSFest. Ran into a couple little issues at the last minute and instead of rushing it just took it as is. Got the last few things coming so it should be running in a week and get some shake down in so we can actually make good passes at the Shootout.
Spent most of my time at the fest working on this.

So was all ready to start the IROC FINALLY and... nothing. Would crank all day but nothing. After lots of troubleshooting found it had no fuel pulse or spark. Pulled the wiring harness I have back out of the car and the Crank sensor wiring has been sliced like 8 times so hopefully thats all it is. Will try again today. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

But most of the changes where as the car got more and more extreme. In the end I just wanted to be able to jump in the car whenever I wanted and cruise around in it then go to the track and flog it and not have the "is this going to hold the power, or I should of done this whats there is kinda sketchy". I know there is always the unknown but in the end I built the car to handle what the pottential max output of the turbo setup is... We shall see though.
