I think the down pipe through the hood will look slick, makes me think of the drawing that gm high tech had of there turbo ws6, if it comes out looking like that I'm sure it will look good

That's pretty damn funny.

Nice upgrades OP. Looking forward to watching the new videos of your car. Also, thanks for the video of the dominator with the LCD screen. I have been on the fence about it but have heard lots of raving reviews... I may have to give it a second look.

not sure how close you paid attention to the video but if you watch again and notice I forgot to flash the pump gas tune back into the holley before I started the car so it had an E85 tune with pump gas in the car you can see the holley's closed loop pulling 10% fuel when its running. My closed loop compensation at idle is only set at 10% so it would have pulled more. I didn't even realize it untill I was messing around with a tune a few days later. the holley is ****** legit! You can put pump gas in it and it will self learn instantly with an e85 tune just copy learn table over to the base fuel a couple times driving

That is bad ***! That's awesome since I have to do 90% of driving on pump gas since e85 is in such short supply within a 30 minute drive from where I live.

I have always liked this car and really like the new upgrades but I have to say that the exhaust through the hood is kind of redneck. No disrespect and the car is still cool but that is a hack job to such a cool car.
