Im having it done the exact way I want it. If it takes longer to fab stuff up to get it to fit then Im OK with that.

I agree and no rush. heck teh longer it takes to get the car done the more it becomes a classic so that is one way to think about it hehe

Thus the reason I have major ADD on my projects and need to get into at least two projects at a time, one that I can get running and enjoying to get my "fix" (no pun intended on the fix part), and the second to be doen as I want it.

Project scope change is a bitch, but as much time as a project takes, as long as you have a set goal and stick to it at the end and you wil be happy with getting what you want at the end.

I think there is 5 miles of wiring in this car. Yikes! Almost done wiring it up.

I just went through the entire thread and this car is way cool. I love that you made the intake work.

Are you still planning on running the twin turbo set up?

For now Im going to leave it NA and see how it runs with the 231/236 cam in it and 2 throttle bodies.

I think that is a great idea.

With the intake you have you could do two air boxes and have the illusion of tt set up.

After building syborg and doing twin turbo I will most likely do blowers from this point forward. Much easier plumbing, less under hood heat and much more cost effective.

Time to order my front RS grille kit. What would look better with no front bumper? A billet one or the original one?
