Thanks for the info.
They maybe, I need to dig the build sheet out of my tool box. I thought about it, but I'm so against aftermarket rockers (unless I was to use Jesel's etc). I lost a motor years ago do to some piece of **** rockers coming apart. 10 years ago and I still haven't gotten over it
We'll see what happens once its tuned and spinning up high. I'm def not against upgrading if the need is there. By the way, what nitrous set up are using? I'm a former nitrous junkie and its been really hard to not put a plate and pill it to kill it.

Spent some time this weekend working on the silver heap. Got my new Dewitt's 2" cut down radiator installed along with my shroud and built a new 3.5" s/c inlet. This thing is getting really close to being ready for WOT tuning. So far its driving rather well, the idle is coming around, which is really the only problem it has right now. I can't thank Brett at XP Racing enough for helping tune it even though he's yet to see the car. I've just been logging and sending the logs to him, and he has a revised tune to me the next morning!
Gonna put a few more miles on it and drop it off next week for the final driveability and WOT tuning. Hopefully it won't lunch itself on the dyno.
Anyway, here's a quick pic of the engine bay all done. Don't mind the red coupler, I have black ordered. That and the blower and brackets need a good polish since they are filthy.

Its okay. Honestly it was a PITA to install w/out having a vice to put the 45 and 90 fittings in, the straights were easy. I put the lines in boiling water before installing along with some silicone spray on the fittings. Gotta get the the lines nice and warm before they go on easy. Other than that, not needing special tools was nice. I would use it on another build. Actually I plan on using it for my 67 swb 5.3 build.

I figured he was. All you high horsepower 405 guys. We have a Supra and a SC400 in the 918 that some of you should meet.

Not yet. I want to put a 100 miles on her w/out any stupid issues creeping up before I drop her off for the tune. I put the new radiator in and it immediately over heated on the first 2 test drives. Turns out the low speed fan kept blowing the fuse. The wire was getting pinched between the fan motor and front sway bar. Quick fix. Ran out of time to drive it after that last night since I didn't wanna miss the Thunder beat the Spurs again... If the weather holds the rest of the week, I'll be driving it.
