We should do an overboosted overlord track meet when I get back.

Somewhere in GA or SC/NC sounds good to me.....

BTW Nuke what Hood Dampers are you running? I need to get some of those? Any problem with them compared to others that people always complain about? And is that an Oil Relocation Kit I see on the Left hand side? If so.. which kit is that>?>
the hood dampers are enduratech's. honestly i dont think they are very great. they look really good and are convenient though. the brackets are way too flimsy. any bit of wind and my hood is flapping all over. not a huge deal either but they are a little too strong for my CF hood. they are ok but i just have to be careful when closing it.

the oil relocation kit is fully custom. its an ebay kit powdercoated black. i then made the lines with black braided hose and gold/black AN fittings from Jegs. i still need to shorten the lines and have a bracket made for it. right now its just kinda sitting in there chilling.

i don't remember the exact ebay store. just go on there and search "oil relocation kits." there are hundreds of them that are universal. i got both the hoses and fittings from Jegs. i think mine came out more than the Greddy relocation kit, but its worth it to have something thats different.

So this car is finally running again? Have you had a chance to dyno or clock the acceleration in any way?

I always wondered how an AT turbo 8 would perform...especially since the money that could have gone towards a turbo when I used to have an automatic went towards swapping it for a manual.

Nuke....for some reason IDK.. Kanes car is a unique car that compares to no other. I especially like the way he kept things "stock" with the OEM air box / engine cover.

here's a pic of my intake setup for those who are interested. completely custom. i highly recommend the same setup. the only thing i would change is to make the MAF tube about 11" long instead of 9".

Disregard the recirc hose. i'm still trying to find something that doesn't kink.
