Chad, that's great man... keep pluggin away. Your car is gonna be badder and better than ever when it's done. I know the waiting sucks and you've had your share of tribulations... but hang in there and you can see the light soon! :thumbsup:

That motor is gonna be a great street and track motor. Awesome torque curve.

Awesome numbers, Chad! 600hp is a LOT of power any way you slice it. That's supercar territory. The car is going to be killer!

I just thought you might enjoy some pictures of your new Vaporworx retro fit gas tank setup.

Brett, that looks great dude. :thumbsup:

Looks great! Very nice fabrication and welding.

Suggestion: Next time, seat the #10-32 fuel line support plug all the way in the hole and weld around the flange. That way it does not stick out. Just flip the cushion clamp around and it will seat flat along the tank face.

Yes I saw that, but also noticed that you have less room for a wrench. So I put my own spin on it knowing what a pita it can be getting wrench clearance sometimes.

Loved this setup so much that I will be doing a write up on how to do the install in the RockValley tank soon with lots of pictures. Can't wait to do one in my tank.

Thanks for the compliment Hollywood!

Here are a few pictures of the mouting variation you speak of Carl.

She is going to be a beast Chad. Id be worth to get a ride along to see the look on your face the first time you lay into it.:wow:

Good stuff Brett, its always nice to get a line wrench on those pretty fittings!

Thanks guys! I'm starting to get some excitement about the car again with progress coming along. I'm stoked we finally have the rear end ordered. Wheels successfully arrived back at Forgeline today so I can now work out that with them too.

@ Jon ha ha, I hadn't thought about it much but its gonna be a whole different world laying down this kind of power. Can't promise you the first ride but there will be opportunities.

@ Brett. Sweet pics man. Can't wait to pick up the tank from ya. Will most likely come by tonight if you will be around as I'm doing a run out to PVC tomorrow with the Flowmaster exhaust and gas tank.
