    Thanks guys ,I got it fired up this afternoon but wasn't able to get any video . And the battery is junk I'm pretty sure .had charge on it for a while and it is not keeping up.wasn't able to get it started after it quit. So I need to wire the relays for the fuel pump just hot wired to get it started I couldn't wait lol and get a new battery and round up 4 different brand's of tires so it looks full sleeper and then get some tuning done .

    Sweet post up some pics! I'm a huge fan of turbo buick stuff .was kinda what drove me to go ahead with this one I'm like hey if buick can take capper flowing heads on a 3.8 and turbo the hell out of it and run good times why can't I add 2 cyclenders and go a little bit more. And then there's turbo355 witch I'm like hey he did it with a 350 why not , I probably won't make even close to his results but if I can get it to run correctly it's a win in my book.

    Well small update . After finishing the relays and boost lines to all the accessories I decided that the only thing I have to do for the underhood to be buttoned up is run gauges so I'm working on that for now . So I did some wood working with the new yankee work shop DVD for setting the mood. Oh yeah you know what I'm talking about.

    I got min from innovate online store, I called to ask a few questions and they were very helpful but when I was ready to order they said just go to the on line store I was like wtf do you want my money. link here.

    Carb is home brew 750 based holley with blowthru mods and annual booster. It's bigger than I need but the plan is I have a 358 3.5 stroke 350 4340 short block that will live under this system once I figure out what heads I want to put on it and budget to finish it up the carb will fit right in.
