I am getting close enough to make me get stir crazy.
Started by unwrapping a few pretty pieces. Spindles coated and sexy. Installed the bearings. Rear brakes came in. Waiting on fronts. Next I moved onto this beauty. StreetShop Hammerhead 12 bolt pumpkin. Tru Trac 3.42 gears 33 spline. Uses D44 batwing and c beam. Getting a driveshaft made up. Painted. Assembled. All bolted in. Intercooler back from powdercoat and paint. Mocked up for Meth line lengths. |

So spent another 2 days and got nearly nothing done.
Got a base tune on my pcm ready so hopefully it will run. This is what will be a radiator surround. Mounted my oilcooler but was short by 18inches on lines so ordering some more. Found an air filter that fit. Hoping it isnt to bad of a restriction. Found out I need another 8inches of 3 in aluminum to finish my charge pipe. And started on my rear coilover swap. Cut off the mount and new ones are almost done. Havent heard back from summerbrothers yet about my stub axles, havent heard from Mcleod on my flywheel, I was charged for my DS and Halfshafts but they cant go in until my other parts get back so I am at a standstill until parts start arriving. |

Where to start. Happiness and sorrow.
Flywheel came in. Fit the crank and floater but not the pressure plate. Sent it back to be inspected by McLeod. Hope to have it back soon. THis held up the trans and driveshaft install. Still no stub axles so no halfshafts which is holding up final measurement for rear top coil mount location. Now onto the good. Dennys Driveshaft and Halfshafts came in. Nitrous ready. Solid 1350 spicer ujoints. Wilwood 6pot front came in. Went from this. to this. After test fit for shims I started the final install. Found out I hated doing safety wire. But got the hang of it at the end. And installed. Also finished installing the passenger side plastics in the wheel well. Meth tank and pump tuck in very nicely behind it all. Center piece took minor trimming to fit over coilover mount. Also got my C beam back from coating. And 4 more boxes. Forgestar F14. 18x10 front deep concave. 18x11 rear super deep concave. Black lugs and valve stem. Testing fitment with charge pipe. Tires are ordered. 285 Hankook fronts and 305 R888 rears. |

Worse case scenario I keep the 31 spline spindle and have MW do a set of stubs.
My stubs have no reluctor wheel type setup. Just spline and ujoint mount. May make it easier to weld. Will see. They get a call Thursday if I still havent heard anything. |

Same. Unless someone knows a bigger spindle that will bolt up the stock can only go out to 31 spline. Or at least so I am told.
Would much rather go 33 but it is what it is. |

Little more progress. Had around 6 hrs to figure some crap out and get stuff installed.
Got the clutch in finally. Trans, cbeam, and driveshaft are in but didnt grab any pics. Will next go around. Then my tires were in so I took them by a trusted friend to get them mounted and balanced. They look perfect. 305 is a great size but I am already looking for the bigger 315/335 for the drag setup. Test fit the front 285 and will have over .625 in between the tire and charge pipe so I can proceed with my plan. Catch can came in so I figured out mounting with the radiator/fan setup. Also figured out coil locations since my new filter setup made my last plan a no go. |

Yessir. I have mine all lined out. I live in Texas so no emmisions. You can see my 6an bung that will go to the air filter side. The passenger side has a 10AN bung to the can and the pcv back to the TB. As for filter there are 3 choices: 1. Shorty filter. 2. Like show for a larger filter. 3. Remote mount the battery to the rear and run the ducting to the battery area. 3 seems to be the best option but I recall someone doing this and not having much different IATs. With my current setup it will breath more fresh air with the SS scoop in the new hood. |

Short weekend but got all we could get done, done.
Biggest thing was finishing gutting the old useless wiring. Will see what I screwed up soon enough. Removed 15lbs of wires and relays and the stock cpu/alarm/theft crap that never worked. All charge piping is mocked and BOV flange fitted to pipe and off to coating. New harness is ready to go in next trip. Coil mounts are made and off to powdercoat. This was the best option given the space constraints. Got pictures of the driveshaft/t56adapter/cbeam/12bolt setup. My battery on my cell was nearly dead so no flash. Also a pic of my oilcooler mount location. And my new radiator shroud also off to coating. Even better is my spindles and stub axes are shipped on monday. |

Another trip.
I have tubing. Surge valve. BV57. This mother will be loud. Coil mounts. MM Catch can. Canton overflow reservoir tank 31 spline spindles 31 spline stub axles Also started wiring the engine and wraping the wiring. Finishing the mounts for the rear coilovers. Radiator shroud and airfilter are still at coating. Next go round is finish the wiring for the pcm and meth tank, flush all the fuel lines, get the car back on the tires and maybe see if it cranks/starts. |

Another few days of work.
Ill go front to rear. Rear coilovers are done. I know the bottom mount is worrisome but I believe it will hold together. Bolt will not break but the stock cast aluminum mount the issue. And with some Wilwood love. And the motor is done besides coolants hoses and finished wiring. 80lb injectors that might need to go bigger. fancy radiator mount. With some big ass fans Screw wiring. |

So a lot has been finished with very little pictures.
Wiring is done besides some custom switches. Hobbs switch is wired up and my fuel pump is pretty loud. Moving some serious fuel. The car cranks, has fuel, and spark. I can keep it running by spraying fuel in the intake. This tells me things are working well and I just need a better tune since the car WILL run once in closed loop. Initial start up in open loop is just to lean. Gauges are in. All work except the fuel sensor but I think my lever got bent on install. Then I got the tires out after putting on the rear bumper and wheel wells. And the car stood on its own for the first time in 20 months |

Car runs pretty damn good.
Got the car exhaust hacked up as I still had cats and my mufflers shot. Vid: Car made 700rwhp/600rwtq spinning to 6500rpm. Made around 17lbs of boost. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2XTdgEUUEw It is a very fun car and the rpm wraps out very quickly in 1st-3rd. Plans are already in the works for more power... Made it to the Texas Mile where I learned I cannot shift worth a crap from 3rd to 4th. Pulling straight back was making the car go to 2nd so I was having a big delay in that shift as I had to pull to the right but not so far as to go into 6th. First run: 97mph @1/4, 14Xmph@1/2, 151mph@mile. This was a proving run that needed to be between 140-165. Did not shift out of 4th. Second run: 105mph@1/4, 144mph@1/2, 188.9mph@mile. FWIW most cars hitting 14X in the half were doing 160's. My tuner thinks at the current power I could do mid-high 190s. At the end of the run I had an issue. The cause could be a c clip holding a spindle in busting, brakes dragging, or the fact that my fuel pump died and killed the engine. All that I know is it was a wild ride and I can't wait until next year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fdDBXEYMqQ |
