    Good deal. I was hoping to have it for the weekend. Maybe I'll just put some socks over my valve cover fittings and go party, haha

    looking good .

    You will love that Holley EFI

    one thing that I noticed from your pics ......... that turbo screen is very restrictive .

    I know this was several years ago, but do you still remember the website where you bought the parts to make your own harness?

    I was kind of scared to run it without the screen on the street, don't really have room for an air filter, any ideas?

    No idea lol, links were saved on an old phone. That's partly why I just went ahead and ordered the input/output harness from Holley this time.

    You think a 90 with filter would be better? If I put a filter it's going to be a really small one, don't know how restrictive that is. Once I put the fender on I'll check how much room I have

    I think so . Im using this filter , its pretty small but flows great .

    I think its the same one Honkifpartsfalloff is using and he has seen no power loss through this filter at over 1000hp . He is running a S480 .

    Well I ran into a problem. The new radiator outlet is just about touching the turbo. If I shift over the radiator toward the driver side about 1/4 inch it might just give me enough room to screw the radiator hose fitting on. If not I'll ha e to get a aluminum 90 pipe and have welded on or something. Any ideas? Or just order a fitting and see if it screws on. It's not actually touching the turbo, just the turbo blanket.

    You have a Holley EFI ......... you should take advantage and run CNP . Itsnot that expensive .

    cam sync is like $130
    crank trigger kit about $300
    coils about $200

    Now I'm thinking my fan is not going to fit either since this radiator is thicker, might have to do some cutting on the core support or replace the lower with a tubular one so I can move the radiator mounting position some.

    Wow those are much cheaper! What about cam sync, what do you use for that? I'd that where I have seen guys modify their distributor or put one in from an explorer or something? Sorry for all the questions, CNP is totally new to me.

    Ok thanks, I will look into do that change but first I got to figure out what to do with my radiator not fitting. I leaning toward cutting the lower core support out and make a new one lower so I can move the radiator lower and a few inches forward.
