yup, thats my baby!

nah, i'm not mad, i asked cassidy to snap some pics if he could cause he lives alot closer than i do.

i think it look awesome, i got a hard on just imagining driving my car again

I talked to ross and he took it out driving the last part of the week and all over the weekend, so the street tuning is complete, just needs to strap it to the dyno and then i'll pick it up

d-day no later than friday

Very nice. Why are they putting the MAF on the boost side? I've heard conflicting stories as to that being very bad for the MAF and significantly shortening the life of the MAF. It has yet to be proven though. Although it does allow you to vent to atmosphere . Why not relocate the battery to the trunk and free up some engine compartment space? The setup is looking good, and I too can't wait to see the results.

we could have relocated the battery to the trunk, but that causes more hassle and its not really worth it IMHO. the engine bay isn't too crowded as it is, so i'm not worried

how long has the car been in the shop arch? i'm picking mine up this friday, making it 4 weeks, of course that includes tuning and fabrication for the 2005 upgrades, so it took a bit longer

I was just curious. I put mine in the trunk (kinda had to with the RRM auto kit) and balances things out just a bit more.

Looks good, and can't wait to see the final product.

i dunno, it doesn't bother me either way really. thing that sucks about the trunk relocation is you gotta run wires, fab or buy a mounting box/plate and brackets. then there is always the worry of vapors or even sparks (ergo the need for the box with breather tube). i dunno, that might come later, for now i kinda like it in the hood

when i pick it up on friday i'll be sure to take a ton of pics and short vids too (of highway pulls and what not). i believe ross is dyno tuning today or tomorrow, so stay tuned for some posted dynos
