Congrats on the build.

I got it all fired up yesterday with the start-up tune by CrashDummy. No leaks or drips we need to dial in the tune today after I get a few of the pulley issues taken care of. I cant do anything else until I have the blower pulley cut on a lathe this morning and pick up a few shims to get the alignment of the pulley's perfect. I also need to put the brakes on it and have the wheels and tires mounted before Vegas.

Well she is all back together and I have a few more grey hairs after the radical rides of today. I had to ditch the Innovators West Tensioner, Idler's and Alt Pulley's due to quality control issues. The Innovators West Crank and Power Steering Pulley's are absolutely perfect. MoreGrip was able to lend me his Tensioner and Idlers and I had a local Alternator Shop Fab a Alt Pulley. I have to spend the day tomorrow putting the MagnaVolt fuel pump booster on so we have the extra fuel to support the boost. I also need to install the R1 Concept brake rotors and the Boze Wheels.
