Haven't had much time to work on it. It's at my friend's shop closer to my house now getting the final details needed for the first start and tuning done.
Since the last update:
1) Added LP fuel pump and surge tank.
2) Swapped out some axle bolts for bolts with better heat treatment.
3) Bought the Holley EFI (HP) and harness
4) Bought new steering wheel and shift ****
5) Bought new seats
6) Started to route/mount gear shifter
7) Bought a different AC blower (smaller-more legroom)
Basically everything is "there" to have it running and on the dyno. It is so close, yet so far away...
The problem is that his shop is too busy to work on kit car/performance stuff during the day, so it only gets worked on at night after hours when he/his guys have time, and on the nights I'm able to get there to work on it after my 9-5.
It is getting there. I have some pix in my camera. I will upload them when I get a chance this weekend or before.

I found this event for next July 14th: http://lta-lsr.com/MoreInfo.aspx
It's a standing mile and a half with a 1 mile shut down. 300ft wide, perfectly smooth pavement. Guys are reporting 15-30+ runs over the course of a weekend.
I know you have Kyle's car setup for the 1/4 mile, but with a tire and brake change, maybe guys would have interest in a 1.5mile run instead? He already has the cage and parachute. With a Hans device he would probably be legal for any speed over 200mph with minimal safety gear.
A few of us are confirming the trip now (other kit car owners), and I plan on making thread about it on this forum and the Corvette forum too. Would be great to have you guys come as well.
Your car looks awesome. It must be a lot of fun.

This is probably the nastiest thing I've ever laid eyes on. I swear, if I had the talent I'd take the motor right out of my G8 and slam it in one of these!
However, will an FI setup fit?

Very nice Roberto.
I really like the satin black on the VCs.
I just grabbed a set of the Holleys as your old heads were taller and I needed clearance for the Plenums. My billet ones were too tall.
If your oil sending unit gets in your way on the throttle linkage, I have a solution I came up with for the Harrop.

I bought them from Bob @ All Pro. I bought them as cast and then I painted them satin black.

Thanks! They are fun to drive. I can't wait to drive mine though.
