Yea it should be a real stout car if I meet my weight and power goals. I ordered all my hotside parts, in stainless along with a monkey fab t6 flange with the support tab, brace for my 9” housing as it currently doesn’t have one. Also ordered a front motor plate and mid plate from motion raceworks. Still waiting on my mini tubs to get the car to the shop for the cage

I’ll move if you really need me to. And I usually like to boost mine too. Makes them faster. Boost is good.


Lol. Just kidding, autocorrect messing with you.

Well unfortunately I’m going to ditch the mechanical pump/alcohol idea. After extensive reading it looks like the m1 setup with EFI has some extreme amounts of maintenance that I’m not willing to do.

So I’m going to take advantage of the flex fuel setup on the goldbox and just do that

Good decision. Ethanol is where it's at.

I’ll enjoy all the trash talk of my pre compressor cooling setup with it also 🤣. People talk about it like you’ll die but forget people/manufactures built thousands of draw through setups that do the same thing lol. If it offered better cooling I’ll be sure to report back.

My injector holder showed up, as well as my spray gun. Just doing the cerakote process right now. This stuff is nasty potent.
