Man, F.I. stuff is SO nice. If I wasn't in LS Swap land... that would be the kit I would get. I love how they take pride in all their stuff.

They do & in the beginning, I was over 90% sure I was doing an LS or LT swap :eek:
But after multiple calculations both ways; couldn’t achieve the power level for the $ :ugh2:

And after seeing Spooler get his VQ done with the Darton Sleeves at a Race Engine Shop :yum:
I threw my hat in the ring :iagree:

Just gonna keep boost conservative with the built 7A from IPT ;)

And hopefully be able to enjoy the Z & relearn a whole bunch :hello:

Here’s my new “Motion Raceworks” Billet ff sensor mount. :tup:
No fuel restrictions here. :iagree:

Nope, it’s been out to pasture grazing. :tiphat:

Well, I didn’t have to bolt it down this way...and not having a controller for it, I knew that I could make it work.
Just last minute rigging :iagree:
Wanted the car inside this weekend :tiphat:
Now the first round of spraying spiders is over, that stuff smells rough & had me hacking & coughing :icon14:
