Hi Brad,
I'm running a KG Parts setup..... all engine bay lines are braided s/s ran in parallel to the rails, with 870cc primaries and 1680cc secondaries. Aermotive FPR and Apex'i BNR33 Fuel Pump that's been hotwired with a relay. Most importantly, I'm using an FJO injector driver in place of those horrible resistors that I had for too long

Today during a 3rd gear pull to redline at 21 psi I saw 82% injector duty cycle, to provide a recent data point. I'll post some pictures up soon, I was prepping my FD for an upcoming track day. Hadn't touched her since the DGRR event, where my car won Best in Show (against a ton of top competition) and a feature in Modified Magazine

Ryan, I'll be on NJMSP-Lightning (along with three other FDs) the weekend of June 11th with the PCA RTR Region. There's room for more, let me know if interested
I'll update with more stuff on my FD soon, but in the meantime recently my shop has been fortunate to earn some press in national magazines both for my FD and customer's FDs..... check the link to the IPR site for more info and some eye candy :

Ryan, sorry--I didn't PM you b/c the event filled up very quickly. Myself, Renna (the guru Jhn hisself), Scrubby McBubbles, and my buddy Nick (480 rwhp Gotham-built MB FD) will be on the shorter Lightning track at NJMSP in Millville NJ (by Atlantic City) allllll weekend long if anyone wants to stop by June 11&12 to help in the paddock in between sessions
I had some camber dialed into my setup after running OEM alignment specs for the life of the car.... -1.6F/-1.4R. Initial impressions are favorable. Car tracks straight, feels responsive vs twitchy, and man does it feel stable in turns. Not to get overly dramatic, but it feels like a different car. Seems like the alignment really woke the car up. Very excited to try it out on track
I also installed a breather filter for the passenger side of my block. Modified my rear oil return block off plate with a 90 degree fitting and ran some 5/8th hose up behind the UIM. I also covered it in heat sleeving b/c of it's proximity to the tubular exhaust mani. I'm hoping this will cure my on-track oiling issues during the long left-hand sweepers on Thunderbolt.
A few pics of my leading spark plugs after the DGRR event. I drove the entire way down with race plugs, which isn't the best idea as they're not too happy cruising on the highway. My car ran great 98% of the time down there, but as luck would have it when I lined up to make a pull against Logan's 20B PP FD, I experienced severe cutout at approx 22psi and 4500 rpm..... this pic should tell you why

Bringing this thread back from the dead..... I had temporarily deleted it but am back in the saddle again 
To report on recent changes to the car, I switched over to Evans NPG+ coolant recently and will report my results on that soon. I had the opportunity to track the car for two days in 100+ degree June heat with the NPG+, and my findings were a bit surprising to me.
This weekend I'm down in DE at the mighty Sakebomb Garage installing their 25 row dual Setrab oil cooler kit with the assistance of one of their celebrity owners
