I already bought an AEM :( Plus your's wouldn't work, I need one that goes inline on the rubber fuel lines which yours bolts to the fuel rail.

This ladies and gentlemen was the missing piece.

I got it installed set the FP to 41PSi for now and drove it on the highway and it works!! I have a few bugs to fix but overall it works.

I love that the maiden voyage is just a casual thing, LOL. That's awesome man, and a really nice little piece you got! Now you have the base to start building your 1000whp fuel system! :)

Glad to see you got it running good enough to drive! Wish I had half the motivation you do to finsih my project.

BTW,

You should yank that tranny and have DB have it rebuilt or maybe just the shift fork replaced if that's all that's broken.

I just had DB have my VIII 5 speed fixed. It got all new synchros, bearings, a new reverse gear and new TOB for around $800. All on basically a one day turn around too.

Awesome dude!

Yeah as for the tranny, I've replaced forks on DSM's before. Not sure if evo's are any harder/easier, but if that's all it is you could probably do it.

LMAO, actually I was scared shitless and listening for noises. The car made it though!! I just have to fix a few things like have a coolant reservoir and the like :) Also I need to get an alignment and clean a few things up, but I was really surprised the hood went on without me having any fitment issues or anything. So we're looking good!

Thanks a lot man, it was a hell of an expensive and stressful ride.

Yeah I'm just at the end of my line with working on cars for a while. After a solid 2 1/2 months of working on cars and the cold snap about to hit... I think I'm done for a while.
