Both tanks are in, cross over pipe is connected, torque tube, transmission, rear end, suspension, and wires are all connected.

Most of it you're doing it blind. I see why there's no diy threads. Really hard to get pictures.

I ended up making my own coil relocation kit. The only thing I had to buy is the firecore50 wires. I'll have $145 total invested.

Driver side inner fender






Passenger inner fender

It was easier than I thought. Hardest part was getting the fenders off and extending the wires.

Picked up some more much needed parts. I picked up the professional model Hp tuner so i can data log. A Mighty Mouse catch can. And a vacuum block.






Since the corvette has absolutely no room in the engine bay. I had to make room. So i made a bracket for the fuel pressure regulator and the catch can.

Regulator:









Catch can:








I also finished installing the fuel system and hiding the wires under the intake.

Polished up the radiator and fan cover. I also organized and zip tied all the wires i have hidden underneath the intake.

that intake and valve cover setup look awesome. sure last thing you want to do is throw more money at it but with huge fuel system and possibility of belt slip the Billetech alternators are good peace of mind.

will be interesting to see dyno numbers. I've always wondered what the practical upper limitations of the normal ECS intercoolers are too, which I bet you'll be pushing here

are you going to have any cooling issues with your external coolers sandwiched in between your condenser and intercooler?

That's how ECS installs their kit. Worked fine before. Only one way to find out if it'll be an issue.
