Niiice!

From what I have heard the 2.3 is much better with over spinning than the 2.9 is. I think you'll be fine.

Christ look at what CTS guys do with the LSA blower. Eaton recommends 18k max as far as I know and those guys hit 21k.

Got a chance to take the blower off and test fit the spray bar setup. Only ran into 1 snag with the tube hitting part of the intercooler but a little dremel work and all is good now. Replacing the fuel rail screws with some flat hex head ones makes more than enough clearance.

In the top part,

You can see the screws I was talking about here (bottom half),

I have some oil in the bottom of the lower manifold when I took the blower off, kind of pooled near the back. I am not sure where its coming from as my PCV vents to atmosphere and it cant come from anywhere else, so not really sure about that.

Looks good. Is it definitely oil from your engine? Or is it from the previous owner? Did you have it apart and clean before putting it on?

Probably entrapped in the intercooler from it's previous life would be my guess.

Well so it turns out I forgot how to take the area of a circle so I traded for the wrong jets When I got the ones I told them I wanted in hand I thought no way is this right, and sure enough, way too small.

Made a new spreadsheet, this one makes a lot more sense as to being realistic.

Also jut for fun, a 15GPH nozzle measures roughly 0.045", which is the same size that would support about a 250hp nitrous shot.
