You are welcome my friend!

I appreciate all the feedback guys, can't wait to start it up.

Just to let you guys know just how close I am to atleast hearing it run, I'm stopping on my way home and filling 2 five gallon gas cans full of e85. I also ordered my custom plates "CORNFED" haha.

All I gotta do tonight is finish my fuse box for the wiring, hookup the 3 bar map and see if she lites up. Will keep you guys posted

Love the shovel.

But only if it's detachable, just incase you gotta break someones face...and dig a hole.



Sorry, slightly twisted thinker here.

Haha, believe it or not I do have it bolted to the B&M shifter handle for removal. I'm just hoping I don't bonk my son in the head when I downshift to 1st gear (full manual valve body) when riding around haha.

Thanks bud! Not at first but I might intercool it if IAT's get rediculous. I'm hoping my "cold air" idea will help out a ton but I'm gonna save that info unitl its fully functional.

***UPDATE***

For you guys wanting a cheap 3 bar map sensor and how to mount it up. EFIsource has a great 3 bar map sensor for around $35 that has to be re-wired (very easy) and works flawless. I left the factory map sensor unto the intake just to plug the hole but mounted the 3 bar zip tied to the fuel rail and using a 5/16" fuel line for boost/vacuum reading to the vacuum port on the right side of the intake.
