How easy was the boost leash to configure? I bought one from Randy, pulse/boost combo and it didn't come with any directions for wiring or plumbing, and I got the dual gate kit. I emailed him a few days ago but haven't heard anything back from him.
Thats excellent news on the exhaust, makes me happy. I have a similr setup

Figured an update was well overdue and a lot has happened. I ran into a few minor things hat needed to be changed like swapping to an ATI stock size to fix charging issues with the power hog fans, changed my bump to a coiled wire to make it easier to use, switched the trans cooler w/fan to the back and actually made the trans temps rise so I moved it back up front and made a cowl to direct air into it from under the intercooler, lots of other little things.
I made it out to the track 3 times. Once for soft hits and ran a 6.20 at 115 then made it out the the Dallas Streetcar Takeover and won the 10.0 index since I hadn’t turned it up. I managed to dial it in at a 9.98 with only 7psi. I then went to a private track rental the next day and ran a best of 9.19 @ 148 blowing through the converter bad. The more I gave it the more pissed it got and actually blew the front crank seal on that pass. I am already changing my crankcase ventilation to 2 non-PCV 10AN catch cans which should take care of that issue. I got real lucky since I was racing my buddy that has a 1400hp GTR and only pulled the chute to mess with him dice I won.
I have already fixed the front crank crank seal and have stripped my interior to have a 10 point installed. I am also switching to Holley EFI, 160lbs injectors, and Kirkey on the passenger side to match the driver side.
The plan lane is to run Drag Week in 2018 so I am catching all my safety requirements up to NHRA spec and getting my license to run the SRSBPA class.

I got the custom 10 point cage installed and have to say that I am really happy. I am 6’4” and have plenty of head clearance with my Kirkeys. I have started stripping the engine harness and will modify it to still use the factory BCM along with the Holley.
I am also modifying the BMR battery relocation bracket so that I can run a sealed battery box.

Great build, nice work! Question for you - what exactly are you trying to keep with the stock PCM harness? The BCM will stay functional without the stock ECU and stock engine harness. If you are not trying to use the stock gauges then I would likely leave the stock ecu out of the car, unless you are trying to have a functioning OBD2 port for emissions.

Thanks! Cruise control, alternator, & OBD II
