Very clean! Love it. Is there any way you could re route the stock fuel lines?

Question man -- How high above the radiator shroud is that intake pipe sitting? I'm looking at doing something similar to my car though it's merely about routing more so than fitting a larger pipe in (3" should be plenty sufficient for some large numbers).

I've got a 4" pipe kit for sale, it would probably save you alot of time. Let me know.

Around an inch, and about 1/4" higher than the throttle body inlet.

Good stuff. Rather than try to route my pipe through the gap between the radiator and ABS Block, I'll probably go on the top side then as the 3" pipe I'm using barely sits above the shroud.

Working on the cold side this week......

You could always stand the radiator up straight.

can't move the abs block back much at all....downpipe clearance is tight. Not going to stand up the rad.......am keeping ac. The 3 inch pipes I'm usig are goin to work fine....was test fittin last night and I can go top side of the tight spot or go on the low side just above the radiator hose.

Not quite over, but it's ALIVE!!!

Bad IAC in this vid from Wednesday, hence the long cranking and no idling on it's own. Put a new on in tonight, played with the XFI, she starts and idles on her own now. Need to get the exhaust closed up to get feedback from the WBO2 it looks like, then I can start with the tuning.

Sounds WICKED at 900 RPM idle.....thinking of taking it to 850 or 800 because it's acting quite nice at 900 still.....
