Default Slowly but Surely II

Well, these are not exactly the latest pics but they are pretty close to picking up where I left off last time.

Me and a friend Tim spent a solid week over at my buddy Gary Cook's (Performance Fabrication & Engineering) shop trying to get a few things in order. What I learned is that I will leave the fabricating to the fabricators since most of what we did was re-done at least 3 times. After we left Gary alone I think he was finally able to get a few things done and here they are:



I realize the radiator is upside down. I had a local radiator shop relocate the inlet and outlet ends so it coud be mounted up under the front bumper.



HKS 60mm GT II Race Gate. Damn thing almost cost as much as the turbo!!





Here is a quick engine update.

Big Daddy Futral came through with a custom cam known as the FMS-TFK John Force Edition.

Chris "Big Jelly" from APE refused to have anymore appearance photos so here are the results of his work:

Bling Bling!







After all the turbo plumbing comes back from the coaters it will all get shipped over to W2W where Kurt Urban will attempt to fit a dry sump somewhere and find out how much HP we can make with 30psi on their engine dyno.

IF that was a budget build i would hate to see what a well funded set up would cost. What is your budget. 20k on the motor and turbo.

My hood will work. The IC piping is very similar to Chris. I am running BSIII but I have a JW400.

Man, rotating that housing would make piping easier.

Looks nice. When you say budget, remember you've already got more money invested in it than most people in 3rd world countries will make in their entire life.
