BlaqOPs double-pump carrier/controller & vacuum hose/Boomba fuel rail.
Manley rods & JE pistons (Shane wasn't keen on this. Buschur says drop-in is fine).
Cosworth MX1 cams and valve springs
Full Race mani/BB-X turbo
Boomba 75mm throttle body & teflon intake gasket
Boomba motor mounts
Boomba catch can (might get a second one. need to find a filter for venting)
Test pipe
AMS intake
Vibrant boost distribution block (still need to figure out fittings & lines for this)

Longer term:
PLX gauges, A-pillar pod, Knocklite.

I'm having Shane bid out the install right now. If DB doesn't do the job then I'll talk to RS.

I'd just like to do the fueling myself since it is wiring and vacuum line, not rocket science...just need to figure out everything that I need and find a place to do it.

I have garage space you could use to work on it if needed. It isn't heated, but it is free. PM me if you are not able to find a better/heated space.

Thanks! Shawn offered up some space. Can't wait to see his garage...says he has a lift and everything. Must be sweet!

I had a rough day as far as the car stuff goes. I've been stressed since this thing got way more expensive than I ever planned. Lately it seems like half the shit I buy is wrong! I order some vacuum hose and fittings and then I get it and realize it's too big or whatever. I have so much brand new crap that I have no use for.

Shane also questioned my use of Arp head studs and Cosworth head gasket today. Of course I want to do stuff right but I bought that stuff six weeks ago so I'd lose big bucks reselling it--it's too late to return it. That's the kinda stuff that's pissing me off now because I'm *so* running out of money. haha.
