I've stressed my concern on the rear end as well... It's probably not in the cards this year due to the amount he is already spending.. I agree it does need to be driven more as does mine.
Sorry we missed you in St. Louis, Sean was super pumped you had just stopped by and got some much needed car talking time in with him. Rob and I stayed two nights and went to the shootout with Sean we all had a good time.. I managed to get 22mpg with the silver car so I was happy

Ben- I do drive it, you have just been out of town sir! I am sorry I keep my stuff clean and it appears I don't drive it! I don't like the track if that's what you mean by driving it! When we finish i may go to the track once that's it! It's a street car, dyno car and show car nothing more! If i wanted a drag car I'd build one!
It just seemed like you were never around when we were hanging out on the street, and I am hoping after you go through the pain and suffering of paying for a proper FI build and dealing with all the issues it will bring you that you will at least make it worth it and drive the thing out on the streets with the rest of us on a regular basis.

Congrats Nate.
I want in on this throwdown this spring/summer. My setup should be back together and tested by then. All I have is a little 347 and a small single turbo though.

Anyone know of who the cheepest (but stil decent) body place in town? I bought a commuter car and its got 2 seperate areas that the paint is starting to buble (rust coming under it) and want it fixed but want it cheep.
Does Switches do that work?
Also, anyone know of where I can get window chips fixed for cheep? I got a quite of $70 but don't know if that is good or bad.

Thanks Eric. I know a few places also (going to see what Maaco's estimate is sometime this week).
I have a feeling the quotes I have are probably accurate. I just hate dropping $ in body work on a car that I know isn't anywhere close to being a great body car. Its not like the thing is a rust bucked or is severly damaged. It just has a lot of little scratches, small dents and some small rust under the paint in a couple places that I don't want to grow into a larger problem.

My uncle does it almost for fun. He did my entire car for 2k, along with Corry's for 2k. That was a bunch of body work, and a full respray. He's the head painter at Dimension Ford, but he has his own shop where he does muscle car restorations, and his side projects. Plus, he seems to work on a "the cooler the car is, the cheaper the price is" basis. I'll shoot you his info
Hey if anyone in the Ft Wayne or kendallville area wants to donate some time or knowledge to my 72 Nova LQ9 project that would be awsome!
Before this project I had only put gas in cars, so I am super new to this. I need step by step instructions. This site has been extemely helpful, but it takes long hours of using the search button.
If anyone knows of any books or people interested in helping me that would be great.
I still need to do the fuel system, trans crossmember, plum the power steering box, finish up the wiring, and I am sure a bunch more.
I will keep working at it, and asking questions on here.
Thanks for any help,
Brandon

Brandon,
I'm still buried in projects at the moment unfortunately. It'll probably be a few more weeks before I'm close to available to help with much.

Lets just say the air/water intercooler setup on the truck not even making boost was causing IAT to climb over 150 deg. in 80 deg. weather...
Now with the air/air and Methanol we start under ambient air temp and at the end of three gears when its climbed to its highest we never made it above 118 deg. which made us very happy.. The thing about air/water is it heats up and no matter what size heat exchanger it never cools back down enough... Great for the track...not so great for street/roll racing
Nate, i'm not stirring the pot. I do have a question on the A2W setup on that TB. How large was the intercooler and heat exchanger? Was the heat exchanger placed in an area where air will cross over it using the engine fan or ram air from forward movement? How large was the liquid capacity of the reservoir? Was the coolant pump circulating?
The reason i'm asking is largely due to my good luck with the a2w setup on my own car. You know the amount of heat my blower can make. IMO the positive displacement type blowers make the MOST amount of heat than any type of forced induction. With that said, I can't see how you were having such a problem with IAT's unless there was another problem with the system.
Like i said earlier, i'm not trying to ruffle your feathers, but curious as to what was going on.
