Man I want to so bad!!! I just keep doing to many side jobs for other people!! I do alot of custom work all the time, I've been real busy lately because I need some extra money to fund the turbo build, but now that I have all the parts the work wont stop coming!! I'm gonna put everybody on hold after I'm done with the car I'm working on now and finish my truck!! I'm putting a few gauges in and tuning the car I'm working on now.


BTW guys.... I actually ended up buying an '03 LQ4... HEHEHE

I dont think -6 is going to cut it to feed 700rwhp on e85 is it?

LOL, Yeah I guess I should have mentioned that this current fuel system is just to get me started, once I start wanting to get to the big HP,over 600rwhp, then I'm gonna put aftermarket fuel rails and run dual pumps/lines all the way to the rails, thats why I got a cell with dual sump outlets.

A little update, I've got the engine put together and ready to go, I ended up installing a Melling High Pressure pump, LS2 timing chain, a 216/220 .525/.525 114 cam, and LS9 springs. Motor is a 2003 model with 202k miles and I was suprised how clean it was:
