11.1 compression? That should be pretty interesting. Are you going to be restricted to e85 only? What sort of power goals/et are you shooting for?

E85 is really the only option i have here other than 89 E10. I have been running strictly E85 for two years now. Plans are to get in the mid 600s hp wise.

I will have to google where that is. Most of the guys around here go to ThunderValley in SD.

Now I wished I would have got the safety loop from Kelly too while I was ordering the K-Member. I am going to have to stop buy parts here soon though if I wanna get that engine done by spring, lol.

Excellent buy on the driveshaft. I also have the BMR loop. Keep your eyes open, they come up for sale fairly often. Typically about $75-$85 lightly used.

cool, it shoud be a screamer for sure! this is going to be a stupid question, but why did you do a wire tuck? are you going to relocate anything to where all of the dead space is?

The charge pipe now comes up through the hole under where the fuse box and ECU were. Also, it really cleans up the engine bay and I had time.
