Oh you are going to do some partying alright. Lol Can't wait to see the results, if you bless us with them. That beeotch is going to fly. Now I understand. Might have to add weight back to the front.

Do yourself a favor and get a plate style burst panel to go between the throttle body and nitrous plate. Will save your throttle blades in case of a backfire.
This is the one we use. Resets itself so you don't have to replace panels. Works great. Keeps you in the game in case you get a small fart that might take out a fixed panel and take you out of doing a pass. We bent the solenoid bracket into an offset. Didn't take much. But we went with braided stainless lines. IS has them too.

I got what I think is all of the fittings and line ordered to plum the car this weekend. I got one line made last night with stuff I already had at the shop. Also the fab guy sent me this picture!! Car will be headed there next week to have the headers made, steering column, seat mounted, front end with head lights, trans mount and TA mount.

IMO that Holley Dominator ECU is one of the best setups there is. Everything in one package. Wish we had that setup. Too costly for us to change now. Curious to see how the progressive in it works. One word of advise. Don't mess with the delayed progressive timing retard at least till you really get it dialed in and get a handle on it knowledge wise. Then still don't do it. lol. Only time I smoked a ground strap was messing with that. Have never needed to. Take all the timing out at the time each stage engages regardless of how long you milk each stage out.

Even though you have all the bad *** **** on there. Be careful how fast you ramp the juice in. As soon as you start to loose sight of the track bang second not letting out of it. If it is still coming up bang third, and it should set down without tearing stuff up. Pretty good rush riding a 100+ foot wheelie. Be prepared.
I smell some 1/8th mile 5.0's in the near future.

Thanks! There is still a lot of things I want to do to make it a super clean install. The intake and motor plate will get sent out to powder coating. It’s a toss up if I’m going to paint the firewall/ shock towers and frame rails body color or just Semi black.


As for the body color I have narrowed it down to these two azure turquoise or bright blue metallic… I think I’m going to do the Azure as it would be different than any other Fbody.

Build is looking good!

I am not sure how much you are spraying it but the F710's need some pretty significant chamber work for a hard hitting N20 effort. They have a VERY fast burn rate. with your 14.5 static and the 10 degree chambers is tuning window is going to be very narrow.

The plan is to still run the car NA for the time being, when I do start to spray it it will be VERY easy on the tuning. The goal is not to blow this thing up lol will prob start with a 150/200 and add 200 later, we will see what the motor likes/ what I feel is safe.
