Thank guys for the good words. I hope everything will go smoothly during the tuning. Stay tune for the result in a few days or weeks....depending on mother nature as there is 10"+ of snow 1.5 hours from here....

Yes the tubular manifold took lots of room. It can be made to work with OMP but I choose to premixed. I have alway premix my engine since I installed turbo kit because I don't trust the OMP if it dies and I don't know about it. Elliot is great to work with. He will tell you exactly what work and what not. I hope that things will go well during tuning. Will find out in few weeks. It is snowing 6+inches here so can't do much for couple days at least.

Went well. Car finished, unlike a lot of the cars. I rode in the car for 10 laps on the roadcourse and was surprised at how much traction it had even on the street tires they made you run. There was a slight tuning issue for the Dyno portion, as the car was switched over to e85, and too many late night spent on fuel starvation issues( which finally got finished hours before event). We had a good time. I will post a bunch of photos on our Facebook when I get time.

I just want to make sure everything is working mechanically correctly, so we don't waste time on the dyno..
Haven't been in boost yet, but the car runs well( outside of an idle control issue). Closed loop idle control works well, took about 5 minutes for the vacuum portion of the engine to be tuned..
