I believe they are, maybe just the lighting?

Is that a Nano bottle next to the Nitrous?

CO2 for the boost control. Wastegates will have the smallest springs in them (4# ?)

What are you using to pressurize the NOS? Heater or CO2?

Some more engine progress... Shouldn't be long now! I went with a 6 rib balancer, the plan is to space the alternator forward and run the full 6 ribs instead of the 4 rib A/C drive.

We may have come up with a name for the car.. Dreadnought .. It keeps with the the nautical ties of the Corvette name, and fits with the all black scheme .. Thoughts?

Motor is done! Going to see it on the dyno tomorrow am and then its coming home.

Some other small stuff finished in the meantime.. I re-worked the required door net and added some grip tape to clean up the rocker..



Nitrous maintenance and mount..

Re-wired the steering wheel with new switches and a single multi-conductor cord.





Started re-wiring for the turbo sensors and solenoids.. Having everything on one "rack" has worked out great.

All went well today.. Motor looks weird to me without the hi-ram and blower, but it sounded great.

Thanks to Golen Engine Service for doing a great job on the build and answering all our questions.

The final number was about what I expected on pump gas and without my intake, etc.
