Driver side gets a flex joint, and the passenger side gets a v band. Run a Y pipe to connect them then run it up under AC comp.

I have to give you guys credit that looks like a nightmare. I got frustrated installing longtubr headers there is no way I could do that.

Thanks, Shownomercy, from those pics I can see why you're changing, it doesn't look like there's anyway to reach plug #5 at all. How much would you/your welder charge to make me a set of hotside pipes like the ones in your cad drawing?

I would have to figure how much material would run and I will let you know.

As far as the flex, I did not build origanal kit, so I am guessing here but this is similar

Boost control, two step, multiple fail safes, self learn via wide-band, PWM fan control, etc. Free simple software to tune.

And of course, no optispark.

Cleetus McFarland on YouTube has some really good videos on Leroy and Ruby and the holly systems, such a nice system. He taught himself how to tune on Ruby because it’s so simple and learns really well. And I think it’s under $1000 for one of the systems.

With all this self isolation are you having more time to work on this, or having a hard time finding shops to do the finish work like welding?

Mainly done cause the factory cluster was starting to go haywire, and was not worth the effort to repair. At some point will spend the coin on the holley 7in screen for a "better" cluster.

Yea the terminator x max system I have was reasonably priced, limited in I/O but for my setup was more than enough. Everything on the car has been done in my garage with a friend helping with the tig welds, so no issue with the current corona virus. Tuner is remote so again, no issue.

Main issue will be getting potential dyno time if shops are closed. But thats a ways off

A few times on a few channels people have gone over how views and subscribers = $$. Street Speed 717 did this episode where it shows how much money he made just from this one project. Starts about 14 minutes in.
