Hey all it has been awhile since my last update. I wasn't able to make it down to NC to work on my ride until today. My buddy got 95% of the bugs worked out. The car runs great and holds 8.5 psi all the way to redline....I'm currently running a 9 psi pulley. I have a 10 psi pulley but I dont think I'm going to use it. We started doing a bit of the body work today. As you can see in the pic we are molding a hood scoop directly over the S/C. My custom cold air intake works great but I want to keep the engine bay as cool as possible. I also added a 4000 cfm cooling fan which I will swap onto my Koyo radiator once I get it. Well enjoy the pics and video clip. Sorry the clip is kinda fuzzy...time for a better camera I guess.

doesnt have a dizzy ? Its crank angle sensor. (edit: ah just saw in the pic he had changed to a dizzy setup)
1stgen8, what ecu are you running for the fuel then ? ? Im assuming a modified stock turbo ecu ?
Nice setup, will be good seeing the range of power your getting. Any idea or your intake temps with no intercooler ?

The stock NA ecu is still in the car but the stock fuel setup has been pulled. Years ago when my buddy bought the s/c he also bought an aftermarket V8 fuel injection kit. I forgot to take a pic of the black box (in the glove box) that controls the fuel and can't remember the name right now. I will ask my buddy and let you know.
Not sure of the intake temps but my cold air setup is helping. When I took the car out this weekend and ran it hard a few times the intake pipe was barley warm when I checked it. It was roughly 70-75 degrees out. I also think the 4000 cfm cooling fan I pulled from a Ford Taurus is helping. The whole time I was driving the prosport oil & water temp gauges did not pass 180 degrees. This was before we cut the hood for the scoop.
