Question

Ben,
it looks fantastic! Have you noticed any benefits from the oil cooler? (i.e. log data showing cooler oil temps??)

Wow Ben, alot of progress. Keep us updated.

I found a local place with 101 octane at the pump, and 2 places that carry barrels of 104/109 octane. Put some in that beast when its ready.

i have a local race shop that is well known for their work, you need to bring them the parts ready to go they will assemble. very reasonable pricing imo.
they are putting together my 2jzgte motor now, so we should be all good soon. im gonna blow up the ge motor in the car now then install the tt block and boost it to 40ish psi and see what it does. it should be all good.

I've been following this from the start and it sure has come a long way. Reading this has also answered some question I had too. Nice work man, can't wait for the outcome. I expect Vids from the track and/or when you blow it....
