That's what mine has looked like the last few Sun. nights. Then I clean on Sat morn. and start again.

Well, the car's about to come out of the garage this evening. I spent about 2 hours tuning the damn thing and got it running really well.

They sound even better now that it's running right!

Putting everything back together and ran into some problems with the bumper cover...

First, the upper-driver side of the IC is hitting the bottom of the grill. No idea what to do there. I could grind a piece out, but I'm not sure if it'd be visible from the front.

Next is the BOV sits right where the back of the turn signal assembly sits. I took the light out for now. I wonder if there is an aftermarket LED one without all the bulk of the stock piece...

There.... I fixed it.

Not exactly the happiest thing I've ever done, but it works. I'm starting to feel like a damn ricer now.

Try a black spray paint, it will look better,and i think its time for you to change your sig,

Already done (see attached).

I'll change my signature soon.

I didn't have anyone around to take of a video of it driving, but I'll have that this weekend. It runs great. Thanks to Eric Brooks for all his tuning expertise. The tune still needs work, but at least I can get it to the exhaust shop and get everything connected up. It's loud as shit.




Here's some pics of everything all buttoned up:

Strait Boner. I can't imagine the sense of accomplishment.

Very nice. I bet all that power is a handful to manage on the street.

Where do you fill your coolant at?

Look to the left of the power steering fluid reservoir. I have a little polished reservoir, since the stock one wouldn't fit. It's strapped to the upper radiator hose/pipe.

That polished manifold and intake piping looks awesome.

 

[SherrodMustang]

BADASS, that thing is going to be a beast when you turn up the boost.

Does it just fill through the overflow or is there another hose off the bottom to the lower hose ?

Also is the fill point higher then the upper water neck on the engine ?
