Cool, I went with the racetronix harness and racetronix walbro 255 complete tank module and I have plenty of fuel up top (500rwhp). I also have a new 044 in the garage, but didn't really want to go the inline route unless I had to.

I am going to convert to a 50% E85 blend and will need more fuel, so I am thinking a boost a pump rather than an 044 inline. Is there a way to get an 044 to fit without modifying the bucket?

From what I have seem online the bucket requires a good bit of modifications for the 044 to fit.

Painted the axle back portion of the exhaust Gloss black. Used a base coat of the 2000* header paint then 500* gloss black. Came out looking pretty good IMO.

Hey Andy, love the look on the exhaust but won't heat painting the intake tube raise your average IATs because the heat will take longer to dissipate?
