Haha thanks man!! From what i've seen it's a pretty thorough and long article! I was SHOCKED to hear it was on the cover when i started getting texts and messages on FB about it!! LOL I don't have a copy yet so it hasn't really sunk in. I just wish i would've thought to give a BIG shout out and Thanks to LS1Tech.com for all the years of help from a TON of cool people who took the time to answer questions and or post up "How To's" and pics that were Very helpful along the way!!

For the record, it's obvious from my thread that it's not an E85 car anymore as i couldn't find any summer blend at the pumps in time for my tune, although it would only need a tune for it to be able to run on it again. The fuel system is Plenty big enough to handle 1200+rwhp on E85 and then some!

Very much looking forward to buying a dozen copies or so!!

Thanks bro! and yes, lol it definitely does! one of the best parts about it was being able to thank everyone who was involved in helping out with this thing, no matter how big or small of a role they played in it! there were a couple people left out but i've thanked them a number of times and mentioned them in other places so they know i'm grateful!

been a while since i've done anything aside from enjoying and showing the car but i made a couple small refinements and added a Snow Performance water/meth injection setup with the 220psi pump. Hoping to get out to the track soon. I left a little slack in the line as i'm going to have my cold side rerouted in a way to allow for a very large K&N filter to be used.

Also going to be adding some .675" springs shortly. I believe there is a little valve float up high on higher boost is the reason. The other changes associated to that swap is they have titanium retainers vs the current .650" setup with steel retainers and i sold the heavy Harland Sharp roller rockers in favor of some new stock rockers with the CompCams trunion upgrade done by Brian Tooley.








Testing the Snow Performance water/meth kit on just water (green LED beside boost gauge indicates pump activation)...... will ultimately see a 50/50 mix at most or more water if anything.

It's no Go-Pro vid but it still allowed me to review everything and it all looks good from what i see. Probably not the safest thing to do, holding the camera in 1 hand and letting the steering wheel go under wide open throttle for the 2-3 shift (vid starts in 2nd gear). Had to get out of it slightly a couple times.
