Final leg of build....
Looks like we're in the final stretch of the build. Today we recieved the -12 fittings and hose for the vacuum pumps as well as a line lock. The valve covers & Vacuum pumps should be only a couple of days behind. These fittings are some of the biggest I have ever seen.
-12 Red and Blue 90s
-12 Black 90s
-12 350 Ultralite Hose
-12 SS hose
-12 aluminum weld in bungs
Line lock
Weatherpack connectors

We drove it last night again for the 2nd time and it is very very fast. With michelin pilots its almost uncontrolable fast. Once we add nitrous she is going to sing!

I like the use of the water blade. Good thinking! Does that provide better aerodynamics?

I drove it again last night and the car is simply a handful. Sucker pulls clean to 8000 without a hitch and its stupid quick at that. When you coming down for some upgrades?

I get my taxes done this week, and will be the determining factor. Did you get a price for the cartek master? I need one also. Ive got my feelers out for a little larger of a cam, and If I find one priced right and in the 228/230 range, you may be pulling out my TR224 and throwing a little bigger cam. Though, you tell me a bump from 224 to a 228- 230 range wont make up to much of a change, Ill keep the 224 in and be happy
