Man you should cut the spark plug covers off, and just leave the cam sprocket cover on. Would look nice, I just did it to my car last night after seeing your engine without the spark plug covers on. Nice clean cut.

BTW where did you get your spark plug wires from>?

Yeah, I couldn't believe I couldn't just grab some NGK wires for my SC like I always did with my other cars. I'm using AutoZone specials, mostly because the Bosch they sell for 50% more has the exact same specs.

I do, but I gotta dig them up from a friends camera

As for the blue plug wires, I got them from rockauto.com. They are NGK's and of very nice quality. Best OE style wires you can get and they are only $84!!!!!

In my experience over the years tuning...as long as the platform your working with is sound, it's nearly ALL in the tune and the fuel used. When I was tuning this current setup the engine sounded great and seemed very happy. When you tune for so many years you obtain a kind of sixth sense with engines. That is to say, you can really tell when they are happy and when they aren't. I HATE nitrous. If anything is going to beat apart your engine it will be that.

Awesome setup, everything looks and sounds great. as to the guy asking if you can just run 8-14 psi and nitrous, you do realize the op is running e85 which is why he can run that much boost. It wouldn't be wise to try the same thing on pump gas, let alone with nitrous.

Any chance you can share your e85 setup. Im looking to do this to my 1uz. Id rather do it all at once, e85, turbo and my r154.

dude love it! im putting an H1C holset on my 1uzfe/w58, yeah yeah i know the w58 is gonna go bye, bye, buuut it will do while i work out the bugs. since your clutch is rated to 600ft/lbs and slipping its safe to assume this setup is 600+? the haltech and the e85 make this setup soooooo much better then mine is going to be- stock ecu cartech fmu, 315cc, walbro for now.
