Nice kit, I have a V2 kit I think. I don't know what the hell the difference is but I'm sure there are some. Nice ride by the way. We have some of the same ideas on the inside of the car.

It is a S485 from Forced Inductions. Those have a billet wheel and a V2 cover.

Thanks! It is a shame that I am going to be taking it all apart this winter for a 10 point cage and switch over to Holley.

I noticed your rails and regulator are the Racetronix ones. Did you get the entire fuel line kit from them? If so, what are your thoughts overall on the parts in it?

So far I like them but the real test will be once I pressurize the system. I didn't get a kit since I needed to make a few changes however everything except the fuel pumps and the fuel filter was purchased through Racetronix. The finish on the fittings has held up through assembly but I was using AN wrenches.

Have you priced the Holley and all the wiring yet?

I have a general idea what it is going to cost but just have to sit down and figure if I can get away with the regular HP or if I need the extra inputs and will have to step up to the dominator. I am keeping my Leash controller, my second pump is on a Hobbs switch, but I want to run flex fuel and monitor fuel and oil pressure, control my second fan and knows what else. I just really need to sit down and think that all through. I am just going to keep my fingers crossed for a good deal at Black Friday.

**** I forgot Black Friday was coming up. I should save my money and get some stuff for my car also around that time. I've kind of just now been thinking about the Holly setup I don't really know if I will need it or not. What type of money do you think you'll be out of switching over?

If I don't have to get the dominator I am hoping to be in the low $2000s once I am all said and done for the Holley with accessories but that just depends on the sales.

Awesome. Did you use their fuel lines as well? It all looks to be really nice quality in your pics and you're the first person I have seen use their fuel line parts.

Ok I was looking at some stuff and trying to figure out does it really cost that much. Guess it does.

Update for the day:
-Got the hot side on and test fit the turbo. One of the vbands broke in just a random freak flaw but Jon at Huron Speed has already taken care of me and sent me a replacement.
-Ran the oil lines
-Power steering line was closer than I would like so I put that in a thermal sleeve
-Made brackets to mount the trans cooler
-Mounted the intercooler brackets and intercooler
-Other little odds and ends

I plan to get the drivetrain back under the car tomorrow and reconnect the engine harness.

Yeah I used their PTFE lines and fittings. The lines are less flexible than what I am used to with the regular braided lines but I would think that is just the PTFE. They also go together differently than normal braided lines so the real test will be once I pressurize the system. As of this moment I like everything that I got from Racetronix.

Looks good man. I am about at the same spot as you are and have no motivation to work on mine, ha.

If you haven't already, look into MS3 Pro for engine management. I have it and really love it. You can't go wrong with the Holley either though.

Thanks. I looked into MS3 but my tuner has Holley on his personal car so I feel more comfortable going that route. I will make small tweaks down the road but will leave the major adjustments to him.
