I dont mean anything by it, just an observation.
We think alike. The pipes had to merge there becasue we had to bring 2- 3" pipes over the radiator/core support. We couldnt take the 4" over the radiator as the hood wouldnt close. Josh is building a carbon fiber shroud to cover the opening around the charge pipes, it will look much better with it installed.

It looks like a mock up from the tack welds. I can hear the brain chattering on how to make it better from 900 miles away lol.

Fab work is 90% completed. Got the engine back together today and it is going in tomorow. PolyDyne is kinda jacking us around on the coating. The stuff was supposed to be done in a week.. two weeks ago. Now I am also waiting on some of the 20-an fittings for the A2W intercoolers. Other than that I am ready for final assembly

what is this
A1000 picks up the fuel and the weldon boost it to the front or is the car going to have another smaller tank at the front? (haven't yall done something like that before?)

PolyDyne is kinda jacking us around on the coating. The stuff was supposed to be done in a week.. two weeks ago
Have you used their coating before? I had my kit done by them and it didn't last at all. My manifolds are rusting through and the stainless up pipes turned brown.

Those are the two fuel pumps and the voltage controller that I am using on this car. Yes I use their stuff all the time and have no problems with rust or flaking. You just have to know what temp coating to get. Some of their stuff wont hold up to temps that turbo kits get to.

I thought they told me the coating I got was good for around 2100*F. What do you usually go with for future reference?

LMR is doing the final assemly on my car now. Im hoping to have a running car very soon. The build got put behind schedule due to some unforseen problems but its very close.

Heres some pics of the piping after the coating was done.
