Steadily getting some more stuff done.
Cam showed up
The car needed new brakes, so I opted for Brakemotives setup. Seems to get decent reviews on here. If the pads aren't good enough, I will be going with Hawk pads up front.
Speed Engineering Y pipe with my flowmaster 4 inch merge.
Getting the standalone all mounted up and almost plumbed up
Spent Saturday installing new bushings and ball joints up front. The upper arms took all of an hour, the lowers took me about 7 hours. Talk about a HUGE PITA. My 96 will be getting aftermarket arms, never again will I do that. Painted almost all of the front suspension components. 3 coats of primer, 4 coats of color, 3 coats of clear.
Decided to go with a Strange S60. Popped the cover off the 10 bolt. Previous owner wasn't lieing when he said he had it serviced right before I bought the car.
Backing plates off and ready to go to Strange.

Spent some time tonight getting the stand alone fully plumbed up. I am not 100% happy with the routing of the return line, but the hood clearance is so tight I may have to live with it. I'm going to order a 180 degree fitting and see if that can get the line routed how I want.
Also, just got word from Tony, heads are done! Now all I need is the crank and I can get this show on the road!
Hawks Third Gen Sinister 4 inch exhaust showed up as well

Mine definitely won't be on the street that quick but I'm excited it's all tore down now. Nothing in or on the car but the pedals and some power wire and the fuel lines to the tank.
I like your stand alone setup for the nitrous. I actually had extra inlet/outlets installed on my fuel tank and capped them just in case I do nitrous eventually but for the meth on my car I might do something similar. I had the windshield washer reservoir setup but I think it blocks too much air, especially with the intercooler because my engine temps were creeping up around 210. Hopefully I'll fix that.
Awesome build buddy! Can't wait to hear it start up!

TECH Regular
Should have bought 3/4 race cams to match with those heads.... Do yourself a favor and reevaluate your dismal critical thinking process.... You have more $$$ than brains.....

Crank arrived last week, and got everything to the machine shop. I was looking at a picture of the crank late friday night, and it has a 58x reluctor on it. So a call into Callies and my machine shop will happen today. Hopefully it's not a big set back.

Sweet. If you need any help with it when ur doing it let me know. It's pretty easy but stuff is always confusing the first time. Get the deck bridge with 3 positions and 2 dial indicators. It makes it way easier. I got the one with one dial indicator at first and just ordered a second to finish the job.
Yeah I can't wait to hear mine. I just got my kooks true duals in the mail last week with no cats. Going to be crazy loud lol. I can't wait to rattle some dishes in the house on the first startup
I'm just working on lightening the car up now. Very tedious removing lots of spot welds and some are hard to find. I got a spot weld remover off amazon for the drill. It's nice. Has a spring loaded center bit that guides a second hole saw looking bit that removed the spot weld. Then on to painting and start reassembly. Sounds pretty easy lol

Got the motor back from the machine shop! Rear cover and cam are going in tonight. As soon as I get my deck bridge, i will be measuring deck height and getting that to Tony for the head gaskets. Going to start masking and paint the block this weekend as well!
