Default Updates on my SC300

So its been almost a year since i bought the car and tore it down. I need to throw a radiator in. Wire up an AEM and pray it runs. The stock motor looked great. Bearings still looked brand new, cylinders had hone marks in them still. The cylinder head has been modified to use a TT cam sensor instead of the Distributor. This bottom end is more or less to make sure it all runs. Then i'll swap over to something more beefy if needed. If i can make 700-750rwhp, with the car weight down to about 3200lbs w/out me it should do pretty well.

Some of the specs include:

3mm Headgasket
Crower Cams
SP74mm Turbo
Tial 44mm Wastegate
DaveH Intake
90mm TB
Greddy 4 Row Core w/ custom piping
MSP TH350 Tranny w/ Brake
MSP ProTorque Convertor
TRD LSD 4.27 Rear
12 Gallon Cell
Inline Weldon Pump
Soon to come Nitrous Direct Port

Camera phone picture a buddy sent me:


I hoping for some 9s in the 1/4 on 28" slicks. Most of the time it will be at an 1/8th mile. Thats all we really have here in Alabama. The 4.27 gears should be pretty fun in the 1/8th against some of these nitrous fed mustangs hehe.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

Thanks guys. I'll try and take more pictures with a camera this weekend. A buddy took it last night at the gas station so the lighting was GREAT and made everything look bling bling when we trailered the car home from getting the IC piping done.

Looking good. Looks nice and roomy.

Tell me more about removing the distributor. What coil packs are you using? How did you patch the hole? Any links? And approximately how much would it cost me to remove mine?

-Thanks.
