Everything js all wrapped up. But when priming the fuel system today one of the old flexible 90 degree fittings failed gling into the fuel rail so I had to order a few new ones. Should be here tomorrow and then first light off on the new setup.

What intake is that? That’s a killer piece with the intercooler integrated in to it.

This one was hand made off his own 3.5" core. By Wes Chadwick of Chadwick Racear fab. More than half what they charge at the big boy shops and just as efficient up to 2k hp.
 
It's setup to work well with my 3800-4200 rpm typical leave and they expect it to flash in the high 5k range on this setup.
Cool. DO you have it tight enough to drive to the ice cream store?
 
Tuned up enough for a trip to tractor supply and putting the grocery store on the way home.

Today also commemorates 9 yrs since I bought her back in 2015.

Have been doing some driving to give the computer some time to learn and go through the motions on all the new upgrades. But we're making tuning adjustments snd incentives wait to hit the track.

Latest update, I've been driving her around town putting some miles on her and when i was doing some more driveline stressing, I had a intermittent cam/crank sync error pop back up. After pulling some shielding snd trying to repeat the fault while I manipulate the harness, I was unable to get the fault to repeat. So I have a 12-1 external crank trigger I got installed yesterday. Have to pull the plug to verify were really at TDC the correct way, then I'll throw the charge pipe back on, load the tuneup and fire jt up to see if I can get it to repeat out on the road. But can't do they until it stops raining.

I also have a HCR innovations harness coming because I've long suspected the holley harness has been the culprit. So if this 12-1 crank trigger doesn't fix the issue I'll just sell that setup and the her innovations harness is already being built and will be here very quickly after.

Well we had our first outing of 2024. First pass after a completely stripped track in the off-season, i was a little too hot on the leave first pass. So I blew the tires off on the leave during pass 1.
Found a crack in my co2 line during pass 2, and ran a 10.1 on wastegate only. Leaving on 2.5 psi of boost pressure at the line snd 5 psi down track. I fixed that issue snd then during pass 3 the dome pressure **** the bed during the burnout and I made another wastegate only pass and went 9.8 on only 5psi of boost.

Now test I've fixed that I cant wait to start making passes under boost soon.
