Looking good!
The 10.50's on the same boost you had before might be an issue. These motors make great power on boost but I don't see it making enough power at only 9 psi to get 10.50's.
Maybe if you left on 9 lbs and hooked it, it might get down there in those numbers.
Off topic: A buddy of mine just picked a 92 GT mustang in real good condition for 200 bucks and I have an LS1 laying in the garage next to some 317 heads. I think we might have to do some wrenching since you have posted this thread up.

P.S. I also lost 30lbs

First start with the Holley. Here is the first start video. I tried to get it running on one of the global folders but I think I corrupted it somehow. I took the tune that it came with and changed a few of the constants to match my engine parameters and what you see here is the very first attempt at trying to start the car. So far this Holley system has been amazing. I need to swap to a cooler thermostat, wire the fan, put drive shaft in with the tranny cooler and some fluid and I'm on the road. The second stall was my fault I hit the ignition key with my knee when getting out of the car.Here is a link to the video.

Here is another video with a few blips of the throttle.This Holley system is amazing so far. With the 3 revs the car already started learning. List of things to do before it makes it's first road trip.
Install drive shaft, tranny cooler,shifter linkage and fluid.
Secure fuel lines at front of car and mount the fan.
Run some vacuum lines and install the speedo cable.

Well after much debate I found what I feel is the best spot to mount the Holley DIS coils. What a mess. I just used some shitty wires that I had off my 302. I'm hoping that a set of black plug wires won't look so shitty. At least they should stay cool up by the cowl.

I know it looks like ****. Only other option was to mount them on the frame rails and run the wires under the engine. I didn't go that route because of the heat they would be exposed to. I'm going to get some black cut to length wires so I can route them better. Hopefully it will look cleaner. I should have kept the blow through setup and had a nice clean engine bay.

Im going to clean up the rear ones, but i used the factory coil brackets, tacked a couple plates on and this is what i got.
Project is looking great too man.

PS- you get any new track times with the new turbo yet?
