    Thanks Coupe, looking thru your albums. Very nice Mustangs. Some serious wheel stands. What tracks do you run at?

    Edgewater in Cincy or Kikare in Xenia are home tracks, but I've raced all over, Norwalk, Bradenton, Maple Grove, Beechbend, etc, following nmra and funford. Thanks man!

    Mock up engine in place. Looks like I need a sizeable cowl to cover it Carb 1.jpg #ad

    Hopefully will be getting the engine next month. Will be able to finish up the wiring and start to see where the Turbos will go

    Been a while since last post. Business got busy and was waiting for some parts to come in.
    C & S Carb arrived. May have to modify the crossmember to get hood to fit. About a 1/2" too high Camaro 5.jpg #ad

    Talked with Precision and took the plunge with a pair of 7675 Sportsmans. They should be plenty for my HP goals Camaro 4.jpg #ad

    Never done turbos before and trying to figure out placement. Was thinking of doing Up & Forward headers straight into Turbos. Two small radiators on each side of the Intercooler right in the center. If anyone has suggestions, let me know. Still gonna be a month or two before I can install actual engine for final fitment. Hoping to dyno the 540 in August. Camaro 1.jpg #ad

    Been a while since my last post. Gave myself a few Christmas presents :). Installed the engine and will start to figure out hot/cold side for turbos. Camaro 8.jpg #ad

    Received my intercooler just in time for Christmas also. Will be installing the clamps ( Motion or LPS AlphaLoc couplers ) in the coming weeks to see how plumbing will go. Will hopefully have some good progress pics by end of January. Now that engine is in I can start/finish some electrical.

    Small update. While waiting for my cold/hot side parts to be released from parts jail, I wired up the Leash Boost/Pulse control. Read the directions at least 20 times then wired her up. Ran it thru the tests and seems to be working perfect. Camaro 10.jpg #ad

    Mounted FuelTech's presure log and Motions solenoid bracket to make things more simple and cleaner looking. Once I get turbos mounted back, I will be able to start running the plumbing lines for the controller Camaro 13.jpg #ad

    I had March 13th as my Dyno day but the delay of the hot/cold side pushed it to mid April hopefully. I work better when there is a deadline. I will post pics of hot/cold side once I get them back and installed
