wow, welcome back and congrats on the build!

Couple of things:

1. Where is the blower snout support?
2. Why is the drivers side fuel rail not polished?
3. good call pinning the crank!
4. what size pulley is on the blower and what type is it for that matter?
5. Keep going brother! I bet your having a great time!

What are the advantages of the 122 over the 112?
Awesome build.

I am going through all of the things in the kit that I was sent, and can't find the snout support so I will have to get one. Everything that Is there is how it was when I got the kit so I have no idea on the fuel rail. I believe that Is the 2.8 pulley, but I plan on running a little larger one. Going to wait and see what she pulls first. Thanks alot man, I hope you like it...I have worked my *** off thus far, and will be doing a lot more friday thru mon. Should have it to the tuner by mon if all goes well.

The 122HH is a little larger than the 112, and has a little bit more twist on the rotors inside.

that kit should have a polished blower snout support that is specific to that setup because of the spacer used on the blower head unit and was secured with SS ARP 12pt bolts.
Double check your parts and/or try to find out where it is because an off the shelf snout support won't work. It should have been included in the kit.

Looks great, but those turd colored manifolds ruin the aesthetics! I would grab a set of OBX shorties on ebay for cheap, they'll bolt right up to the stock Y pipe.

wow, i just spent 20 min reading through this thread. few things,

1st off, thank you for serving for out country, my hat is off to you

now for the questions, the harness you used, was it a plug n play deal?
it looks like your using the black box PCM, will you be switching to the 0411 pcm? the black box pcm has a rev limiter of 5800 RPM, i dont think any tuner has been able to break that.

who is gona tune it?

i also have a 97 Z71, hell same color


how are you gonna get you stock tach to work? thanks
