Abeaver just bought the kit from me. I bought it from a guy locally who got it from his buddy at a machine shop. I wish i had the guys name and info. Stated when i bought it that his machine shop does all the welding in house, plating and etc.

My Ta was pretty fast but in the back to mexico video I had a fast fuel rail lift up at 20#`s of boost while putting a beatdown on a procharger ron fellows z06. I would never run those rails again.

Then I was thinking It needed alot of work and I got a good offer as it was. It wasnt as bad as it looks in the picture but tons of smalls and wireing and all the dry chem ****.Not to mention watching my fast 102 and my 2000cc injectors I just bought melt . It was time for a change so im building this camaro off the money i got from the other car. I wont make as much hp but Its gonna be 700 #`s lighter.
Anyway I should be back out there in a few weeks in the new car. So down time will have been minimal.

What sucked is the car when on fire while i was racing. So we went upto 150 mph and then i was coasting slowly slowing down and at about 120 mph the guy i was racing flew up from behind and was like pull over.. I said what and then the car started filling with smoke. I hit the brakes but the vacum line already melted and the foot went down towards the floor. By the time I got pulled over and out I felt very lucky.

Sorry for hi jack back to the op
