Little JB Weld and you'll be ready to go!
300lbs out will be nice. Any areas you want to discuss or is this secret NASA materials stuff?

I’ve been trying to do research on this since I can do the same with the gold box but what is the benefit of running c02 or compressed air over just manifold pressure .... obviously manifold pressure has worked well for you

Not waiting for compressor pressure and extremely quick and precise boost control.

Exactly, plus a little quicker spool which helps to ramp in power faster.

If I had a cage in my car that'd be where I would've wanted to mount mine, but it hangs below the axle... Looks good Ray.

Fuel surge tank. That way it doesn’t matter if tank pickup gets uncovered with a wheelie oe excessive G’s. Also allows me to keep the stock fuel tank.

Small submersible electric fuel pump in the stock tank. I think the tank was an efi conversion tank with the pump already installed. The car had a stock tank with a sump welded in when I got it but it was leaking.

Gotta start somewhere and ounces make pounds. I haven’t weighed it yet. It’s definitely cheaper than lightweight parts.

If those headlights are glass, replacement headlights are now plastic. And that master cylinder is iron, go aluminum. It's amazing how quickly it adds up.
