Here's another update. The car is running and driving, I still have to tune it, weld a muffler in because its not as quiet as i'd like it to be, and install some exhaust hangers to hopefully keep the DP from smacking the K-member occaisionally when the engine lopes at an idle. I really love the 2-step, so far I have been really easy on the car and have only seen as much s 3PSI, I'll be alot more brave once its tuned. Here are some current pics.

Looks good! I'm still waiting on my hp tuners to arrive. I had the serial version and upgraded to the interface so I can log the afr without issues. It's been 2 weeks and I still haven't got it. Pretty terrible. They didn't even send me an email or anything. I had to send them one and it takes them two days to reply, just to let me know that it still hasn't been processed.

What 2 step are you running? I'm probably getting some meth, 2 step and an eboost. Have you put your fans on performance trucks? They will go quick when you do!

I think you'll be very happy you up graded, dont feel bad about it taking so long to come in mine took about 3 weeks. I'm running a Harlan 2 step that was brand new when I got it about 6 months ago, a member on this forum had it for years as a backup and never used it. I havent listed the fans, but I need to.

Thanks, its gonna see boost when I tune it anyway. I have a JGS 50mm wastegate and the smallest spring they make is a 7 PSI so no boost isnt really an option for me, the 2 step is set to 3K rpms so the most it would make was 3psi.

Let me know if you find another 2 step. I've been searching and haven't found any for a decent price. When I put my fans on there, they sold a couple days after.

thanks! They have them on their site for 275 plus shipping, probably 300 shipped. If this meth kit falls through, I'll order that 2 step.

Do you know anything about tuning for meth? I still havent got the 2 bar upgrade, so I'm not sure what extra option are available for the 2 bar os. But is there an option to change stoich at xxxx rpm when the meth is enabled? I've been doing alot of reading, I'm ready to get this tuning started. I'll probably be really pissed, but I'll eventually get it

Oops sorry I havent priced a 2 step in a while, guess I was about 125.00 off. About tuning for meth I dont know about changing the stoich per RPM off the top of my head, I dont plan on using it right now so I havent read up on it.

Here's a walkaround vid of the car running. Its not quite as quiet as it sounds in the vid but not too loud either.

Had problems with the T-stat sticking, got a new one and its been good so far. I havent driven it a lot yet because I just have a baseline/startup tune thats a little on the rich side. If it dosent rain this sunday I'll know for sure, I plan on VE tuning.

OK, the idle is a little rich right now(low 13 AFR). I'm getting some help on adjusting the IPW, I used low impedance injectors so tuning them are a little bit different than normal. Other than that it runs awesome, very happy with it so far. Plan on slapping on some 317 heads and cranking the boost up a little in a month or 2.

Did you fabricate another line to go from the AC dryer bottle to the condenser? Your AC is fully functional, correct? Badass build!

Thanks, I havent made another line yet but it is on my to do list. Right now I'm battling my injectors (57# LOW impedance). They refuse to idle stoich so I ordered an adjustable boost referenced FPR and plan on installing it and running a return line this coming friday. Once I get that issue fixed & retune the car, then I can start on the AC.
