Aimin for mid 400s at the wheels. Got the clear lid from speed inc. Just modified the radiator shroud from bmr to fit the lid, put a thin bead of silicone around the filter to seal it to the lid so no rubber pieces are used, works perfect!

Car looks awesome, having that tubular K must make is a breeze to work on from the underside.

Cool rustykey, good luck with the build, you will love it! I'm right at 12.0:1 compression. kylemm102 I can make a plate for you for $20 if that's cool? That will cover material cost and shipping

Awesome build! Who did your initial speed density base tune for the 24x conversion? Again, congrats on the new set up.

My engine builder Ron Derickson did the tune. He's been messin with this stuff for a while. We had no issues with the base tune wither, fired right up and never once tried to stall. Still working on fine tuning, she's gettin closer and closer. Thanks for the praise BOLO!!
