Figured I would update this:

March has been a busy month for work and booking work. Launched a side tuning business to make my offerings more "official". Car finally got some attention last weekend with a new water pump and timing belt kit installed. Found a 20 year old crank pulley, so a new one should arrive Thursday. Also managed to finish installing the ported lower intake manifold, 1000cc injectors, fuel rails, and a few of the fuel lines. Need to mount the FPR, make lines from the rails to FPR and a line from stock feed line to my "Y" to the lines and the fuel system is done in the engine bay. Then one last line at the tank and the fuel system is buttoned up.

Air filters showed up for the intakes today, intercooler piping bends and couplers expected Thursday. The goal is to have a driving car this weekend on pump gas, we'll see how close we get. A lot of fabrication and wiring stand between me and that goal, and that still leaves me plenty to do afterwards (such as pulling dash, gauge installs, etc).

Now to get down to the garage to get some wideband wiring complete, run a wire for my future oil temp gauge, clean up a little more under-hood wiring, figure out the mini battery mounts, and button up the timing belt side sans crank pulley.

Still shooting for reasonable power levels on 92 octane with "MAX POWER" on E-85. I have 13t's here, on the fence if I want to pay to have housings machined and install them, didn't bother pulling the 9b's off the manifolds, I can always do porting and before/after dyno comparisons later.

Big Thanks to John LaCroix (Pushit2.0) on the help this last weekend and the help he will provide this weekend, hopefully get this car out from the back of the garage and to the front of the garage!
