I will eventually do the fans, reason why I won't do it now is because the truck is certified used which comes with a 12 month bumper to bumper. If something happened an intake and tune can be reversed easily and quickly, an e-fan setup not so much. I don't want to give the dealer a reason to void the warranty. As the 12 Month warranty is coming to an end I will get the e-fans.

Ehhhh....no. I loved the car and did not want to get rid of it. The car looked bone stock on the outside and sounded subtle while daily driving, but it surprised a lot of people when I got on the throttle, and the sound was just orgasmic. I needed to get rid of it because I was having to pick up and drop off my daughter at the daycare a little too much, and the backseat was getting a little too cramped for her legs at 2 years old. My wife thought an SUV would be a good idea and by no means was I gonna get rid of my mustang for a Honda crv or a highlander. I might jump on a fox body soon.

Did a lot of work in the last day and a half. Mounted up more stuff, coil packs are in, finished the fuel lines, ran the vac/boost source, brake lines finished up, mounted up some of the cold side and a boat load of cleaning up wires.

Just installed my chromoly UMI torque arm and driveshaft safety loop. Ive been having lots of problems with my tailshaft breaking on the spray so hopefully this cures it.

Also dumped the longtubes with bullet mufflers and turndowns bc the true duals wouldnt work with the UMI piece.

Yeah I know what your talking about. I know from a local guy that the tc78 and pt88 are about tge same depth. Just a bit wider so If I wanted to upgrade it will fit. I'd just have to get a bigger downpipe to fit it.

That is the same torque arm I have. Can't speak any more highly about it.

Built my own cold air intake and box. I switched the maf and bend though from how it looks in the pic. It's working pretty good.

payed money, money, and some more money on new parts for the vette thats all. hopefully it will be done really soon. just bought some used 80# injectors and 2 nano kits. still need to buy a clutch, thinking about the RPS BC3 (that thing is F****** expensive) also need a new fuel system to do 250shot. but for now I will start N/A tune the car,,, keep it N/A for at least couple of months (I doubt it lol) and then start spraying a 100-150shot depends on how much the stock fuel pump will handle. I am also considering doing bap and hopefully it will be enough to do that 250shot. we will see how that goes. also just got my CAI painted and will be sending off my wheels in few days to get it powdercoated black. among other few things that cost more and more money........
