nice! car looks amazing
that's a cool fuel system. can't say I've seen that before. given how wonky the fuel systems are in these vettes I'm surprised don't see more surge tank style systems used to keep the pump setups in the stock tanks more simple.

Plan is a street car that will do well on the track. Mostly in Mexico but will see the 1/4 and 1/2 mile events here and there. Gotta have AC in FLA.

The hot side bolted right up. I didn't buy the down pipe as it goes where the ac compressor is located so I just made my own turn down.
So did the cold side minus one coupler on the left side was too short so I ordered a longer one from vibrant.
The radiator kit required me to make my own brackets as I wanted to keep ac so I angled it slightly to fit the condenser in front. If you didn't want to keep ac, I'm sure it wouldn't need as much modification
Running a BW S400 series requires trimming of the ABS bracket. If you run a cxRacing turbo, I don't think you will have to.
The only thing deleted on this car front sway bar and washer reservoir. Everything else is intact and in factory locations.

Damn that is a really nice kit considering it is CX Racing. How much $$ do you have in the turbo set up alone (no fuel system etc.)
Do you have a link to where you purchased the CX Racing stuff from? PM me if you don't want to post, since I don't think they're a sponsor.
