Heads look good no issues there , but the fuse was a 20amp not 30amp and that was a problem . The fans are also not cooling off the car as they should so Ryan just picked up another set which we'll have on sometime tomorrow . His engine is 100% stock but he does have another long block which he's building up .

I am sad that I missed LexFest... I got my car at 11:30 tonight... It is running well now, no issues with the AFR, except that I can only tune so much without the piggyback. So, I will boost lightly...But wow, even at very low boost, it is definitely much quicker... The built engine goes in during October..., so does the paint, BBK's, etc....

I received the front brakes in the mail...very nice. I will attach some pics. I also received the emblems, stunning....Billet fuel door is in also. It is coming together....

We're making a bit of headway in my personal project also. The manifolds are nearly complete.

The piping looks a bit small for that collector. Or is it just me/the picture? Otherwise, again, looking good as always.

The runners are 1.75" I'd hardly say that they are small

That is an interesting design eric...Actually Frank's original design was quite similar to that, but he abandoned it for several reasons... Then he went to a 4 into 1 design, which us flowing very well. Maybe you guys can make that design work?

Good luck....
