Well the car is at HPP racing and getting the stuff done cracker said a few post up. Should get it back tomorrow and then finish putting on the bumper and a few other things. Finish the exhaust, get the front end aligned up and then back to the tuner for some dyno tuning. I'll post up pictures when I get it back

Jordan,
Manny and the HPP crew should do a good job with the install.

Let me know when it's complete.
I'll call my buddy Scott with a TT 402ci c5 and we can take some pics and go play around a bit.

Ok I started it up today and it runs fine but I think I have a small coolant leak under the car. Its on the trailer so when I put it on the lift I'll check where its coming from. Bumper is painted and pick it up on Friday and grill on Monday. I'll start working on it again Friday night hopefully. Have to install front bumper beam, hood latch, Plastic fender flares, catch can, and a few other items. Then to the front alignement shop. I'll post pictures when its all said and done.

and HPP did a great job on running the wires for the E boost2 and finishing the fuel lines. Thanks guys

WELL GUYS IT RUNS AND DRIVES!!!!!!!!!!
Just have to put the bumper on and its done, then to the dyno for some numbers.

2nd gear 2000rpm, tires went up at 1/4 throttle.

Car is a beast for the 1 mile I drove it.

Will get numbers next week hopefully if HPP can get me in. WADE????

Sweet! Can't wait to see some video. It is a lot of fun to drive, isn't it? I had a blast with mine until it went into winter storage this week. I can't wait for spring now! But I can finish a few things up this winter. Still need my guages and guage pod installed and some other odds & ends on the workbench. Should be ready to rock come spring. Until then I will have to rely on you warm weather guys that get to enjoy your cars longer than we do up here.

Ok guys here are the rest of the pictures of the install. I'll have some pictures of it on the dyno this week. and maybe a video if cracker can video tape it. I took out the fog lights and you can see each airfilter where the fog light hole was. I think it looks BADASS. I dont drive it in the rain so water isn't a problem. Pictures show the fuel system line install and wiring harness for fuel pumps.

Some people have moved the air filters to make them fit with the fog lights. But I didn't want to do that. So I just removed them.

Sorry should go back and read thru your thread again but forget some details of your build. You are running afr 225 heads? What valve springs and what cam again?
What intake manifold ? And what are you going to be trying for boost. Do you have alc injection on there too? I would think 850rwhp is within your reach? What is your fuel system again? I am lucky in a sense that have some of you guys doing your builds ahead of me.You are running custom dual or normal catback setup and if so what ypipe?
And you are standard or auto...

Anyway good luck on the dyno. Wish it was not cold hell outside my window right now. Another three or four months of winter to get thru.

I just re-clocked the filters so they cleared the foglight assemblies. The filters have an angled neck on them so luckily they can be rotated enough to clear the foglights.
