Had mine running, was going pretty good. I didn't have big enough jets or emulsion tubes so I kept it at low boost and retarted the timing a lot. Motor still didn't like running that lean, cracked the back housing. Car will be running again in about 2 weeks.

Beautiful job with that hood, I hope mine looks that good when I finally get around to building mine, lol. I like that IC mount too, nice job with that angle. Do you have any cooling problems with the radiator?

Thanks, it's amazing what you can do with a sawsall, chop off saw and a stick welder. Plus being to cheap to let someone else do it I'll be cutting it again soon to put in a BOV. Hopefully, tonight I will drop the downpipe and put in a bung for the O2 sensor. Let the tuning begin!!!!

Hey TJ

Thanks...
No problems with cooling.... T2 Hood works great(best mod for keeping your engine cool)...plus I have 3 small electrical fans.

By the way... what branch of service did you enlist?
I am a Recruiter for the US Army.
