Hey everyone who has been following the build!
Been very busy around the shop keeping up with the builds and making sure everything goes smoothly. Just a few Updates the engine bay is finally painted!
And I finally got my motor back from Chip Motor sports! He does some excellent CNC work and really went above and beyond for us!
So hopefully by the end of this week the motor will be built so I can start building a harness and designing a fuel system. We are using a Fuel Lab Prodigy Brushless Pump Rated for 1300 HP and moves a whopping 140 GPH @ 45 Psi Fuel Rails are from Full Function Engineering.
Lastly we are now offering powder coating with a partner. This is a sneak peak of the color I will be using on my car. To powder coat a throttle body is very time consuming to take a part and meticulously put back together as there are a lot of moving parts. I will post up more pictures as the motor goes together.
Lastly I did something stupid and bought another car to add to the collection

So wow a lot has happened since our last post!
When we assembled the engine we realized we were going to need some last minute machining / CNC work so if we were going to make Deals Gap, shipping the motor was out of the question so this left me no choice but to make a last minute road trip to Detroit to visit Chip!
Great guy and really genuinely cares about a quality product. In this respect, we share very similar build qualities and we treat every motor as if it's our own motor. Paying attention to every detail and taking our time to ensure every customer is as happy as the last.
So just to speed the process I rebuilt my motor at Chip's as he graciously lent me what ever I needed and we fixed and fabricated a few odds and ends there to help speed up the process to make Deals Gap.
Anyways since I was in Detroit, I decided to take Tom, our still somewhat new guy sightseeing and we got to visit the birthplace of the shop truck, the Raptor!
At the museum they also had a surprise!
Also saw a few different places that Detroit has to offer!
I got to meet the man who has been selling me parts for a few years, Meet Randy from Motovicity!
I wonder which one of you guys know what this place is. Maybe a hardcore fan
Anyways all things must come to an end. Drove through the night with my Co-Pilot Tom to get back to NJ to continue the build.
We started making the fuel system today the remainder of the parts that I need and get a few more parts before she gets to go back inside the car!
This is how she sits for now
Not sure why some pictures stayed sideways after I corrected them but you get the Gist. Stay tuned hopefully if we do not have anymore set backs we should be on track!

Lol yea. Wasn't sure how to take ZoomZoom comment either.
Car did did make it to deals gap and it sounded pretty freaking awesome.
Progress prob hasn't been posted because they are too busy working on customers cars.

Johnny hit it right on the head. Been really busy! Mike Mauro has literally never been to the shop and has no idea what he is talking about.
Ill be frank, Mike has a chatty cathy group that really likes to talk and make assumptions even though they never have ever once even seen the car so how would he know? I could understand if he was next to me while I took apart the motor but literally has 0 credibility Its like trying to report the news of whats going on in a foreign country, but never been, so its all guessing. I did invite him to stop by and check out the car running, but hasn't come by
I digress, will post up more progress soon. We had a noise complaint from some neighbors so we are laying low and also building a muffling system in our dyno room.
Every Friday we have cars on the dyno tuning for customers and if we have time at the end of the day, we will continue tuning my car as customers are priority on the dyno. So far the past two weeks multiple cars got tuned and I didnt get to see anymore dyno time since the noise complaint. I will be AutoXing the car soon since we do have a low boost tune. Currently working out some bugs on the car from the stock harness. Security Relay died on me on the recent dyno session and need to start putting in safety equipment to pass tech.
Ill update the thread shortly with pictures. !!
Thanks guys for following!
Recent picture on the dyno about 2 weeks ago before the noise complaint.
