Yeah that is the plan and I will just for going to the track incase I break. I just had to make a statement up here since only 5 guys have ever had a 9 second car that could drive on the street. There aren't even many 10 second street cars up here. My goal is to drive to the track run a 9.50 and drive home. And the 150 shot I've used twice isn't even pushing it yet.
It's just so much fun driving a 9 second street car pissing off the person next to me in traffic trying to talk on there cell phone and they can't hear, setting off car alarms in parking lots. I drive it to work (70 miles round trip) and around to carshows, a lot of places. I probably put close to 2,000 miles on it last summer (which is a lot for really nice cars up here).

Actually they havn't really bothered me too much because I don't give them any reason to pull me over. No speeding, not doing anything stupid, I already know I'm being watched. The only thing they could actually warn me about would be the noise.
The harley guys love it, it makes there bikes sound quiet. Lol

It's possible that someone makes a combo unit like that.
Mocal does not make a filter relocation kit, but you can get a one from Scoggin Dickey, Summit, or Jegs.

Good to know.
So when you change your oil, your oil cooler wont be fed oil because of the thermostat. So, doesnt this imply that your oil will be low if/when your oil meets or exceeds the temperature of the thermostat and starts being fed through that additional loop to the oil cooler?

Correct. There is a bypass to allow it to just loop back without going through the cooler.
When changing the oil it will do the same as putting on an empty filter. When you start it the first time the oil level will be lower and you'll need to add more to bring it up to the correct level on the dipstick.

Glad I could help you out. I had to just try stuff to see what fit behind my kooks stepped headers. There wasn't much out there back when I did it.
No changes yet. I had pcm issues and decided to park it until my boy got older. He's 4 now so I'm trying to get back to it and get it back on the street and track.
The plan right now is gut all the wiring that isn't needed and convert it to a Holley standalone and gauge. Which will simplify things because it can control multiple things like my 2 step/ timing retard/ launch control box.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to run a oil pressure gauge the sender is a bit bigger but looking at your picture I might have room to run it up top.
The adapter block I'm looking at is 1'' thick.

Here's another pic I found of the assembly on my bench. My auto meter sensor is pretty small so I didn't have much difficulty getting it to fit. Also I have an auto meter oil pressure sensor up in the factory location with a T so I could still have my stock gauge function.
1" sounds about right I know it much thicker then the factory block off was.

I thought about adding a T in the stock location but I am trying to replace my broken switch with the Fast 102 intake on.
I figure the adapter plate would do for the Autometer gauge.

Even with my cut back cowl and a fast 92, it can be a challenge to get back there.
That should work as long as the new sensor isn't too big. It might be possible to add a 45 degree adapter on it to get it pointed where there is a little more room.
