I think my kit is coming with a ST-80. Excuse my ignorance if they are the same but Josh is building the kit.

Well right now Josh is still waiting on the turbo to fab up the rest of the kit. I think he still needs to get my cam ordered and some other things. \\Cant wait!

Good info except for the return.fuel will get hotter on the return line so you want a larger return line than you have feed line. just my .02

Got the AC lines routed and re-bent. Just need to get a section of tubing braised in. Also have the engine bay smoothed and primered.

but much of the fuel was consumed by the engine so the volume needed for the return is less, this is the reason most people running twin fuel pumps trigger one with a switch when demand increases. It keeps the regulator from being run hard and keeps less volume in the return line.

Looking good! My stainless headers from Josh should be there when I get back from vacation and I'm going to get started mocking up my GT91. What kind of fan setup do you plan on running?

LOL you gys are funny. I have the low profile fans that I had ordered for the radiator. Looks like Im going to have to modify the brackets holding them on since I think I ont have enough room to run them as pushers.
