Default 8 rib project finished

Hi Guys,

I finally finished installing the Blowerworks 8 rib system. With a lot of travel it has taken a while... But the results are worth the wait.

In conjuction with that, I moved my MSD under the drivers seat, remounted the coil on the front cross member, relocated the Gaseous injection punp in the drivers side headlight cove, LT4 extreme roller chain. Mainly just trying to get a cleaner look.

The first time out I was pulling 11.5 pounds of boost, I had to pull out of it as I was running lean... So I'm still dialing in the fuel.

If you're interested in seeing pictures as the project progressed you can visit my website www.ndneyes.com/mo under "Mo's projects"

regards,

Mo

Wayne,
That is an awesome setup! You seriously did a great job with your supercharger. I took this term off at school so if you need help or want to meet up let me know.
