UPDATE!!!

Picking up the car tomorrow ladies and gents. The Junk Box is pretty much completed and going to go pick it up tomorrow around 10:30-11AM. Im stoked to hear and see it run again. It's going back on the 15th for the Rebuild trans with the 4.11 Gearing and the Fresh QM clutch. Then after that i have my appointment for cage and shute mount I will post more pics up tomorrow after i clean her up. Heres a little teaser pic Thanks to Devin and Kristin @ Boostin Performance for getting the car together so fast and all the parts come in on time as well. It means a lot and im excited to get the car back to the track. Boostin FTW!!

Reasons why:
1) better cam shaft selections
2)Joey had valve flow problems in his Evo IX head
3) during the DSM shoot out Joey was having these problems, so decided then to switch to the Evo VIII head.

Joey and I will be posting the start up video tonight, follow me at Cpolich1 on YouTube for more videos this year

Jerry I was looking at the picture for a few minutes and tried to figure out what bolt you are talking about. When I picked up the car this morning everything was perfect as usual. Boostin ftw!! The only thing I saw, was maybe a little of the clamp for the turbo near the dump tube is that's what you were seeing.

More pics and Videos to be up on here tonight. Stay tuned!!

UPDATE!!!

Junk Box is officially running! First would like to thank Devin @ Boostin for getting the car together quickly and for all the hard work. Car sounds healthier to me and im excited to get the car back to the track.

Today was around 40 and windy with on and off snow flurries. This morning i hooked up the trailer and went to go pick her up. I would have drove the car home but the weather wasnt the best. If weather cooperates this weekend i am bringing her out. Ordering my NRG seat and harness so I should have it by the end of the week! I cleaned up the Junk Box and the Vette today. I did it in my garage where its heated.

Below is a few quick pics nothing special off my Iphone and a quick start up video of my car. Since it was dark a little bit the quality isnt the best but i figure i might as well post it. Stay tuned for this week! More updates to come!

that 67/66 screams at idle Cant wait to see what it can do on the dyno!

I love how fast the car starts up with that 12 tooth crank sensor trigger wheel.
