finally got some more work done!!

Got my injectors in...a fresh set of Five-O Injectors "Silver Bullets" 2200cc flow-matched injectors

getting these mounted properly is basically whats been holding me back from bolting everything back together

had to fab up some brackets from some aluminum...They arent the prettiest things in the world but they'll do the job just fine

i also would like to throw in that the Full Function Eng. o-ringed spacers are absolutely awesome!!
awesome fit and the customer service was great!! definitely recommend them to everyone

got a little something something done today...

put on the LIM with the injectors and ran the fuel plumbing for the most part

also put Thermo-Tec Cool It over the OMP lines and the fuel line that leads from the primary to secondary rail.

That should keep the OMP lines from melting against the block

Got some more work done this after noon

Finally got my tires!! Continental ExtremeContact DW
Front: 265/35/18
Rear: 295/35/18

they aren't my first choice at all, but they were basically the only ones that were on back order...it was either these or Nitto Invos, but the Invos are sad excuses for performance tires.

I've heard good reviews, but i'll definitely be swapping these out for some proper BFGoodrich KDW2 and then the Toyo R888 for the track


swapped out the pulleys with the new Touge Factory units. They really are awesome. Lightweight, brings the alternator pulley and water pump in the smaller stock sizes, and then the crank pulley is smaller and lighter...and it comes with a power steering pulley!! super sick kit and decently priced as well!!
I put some comparison shots so you guys could see

also did the turbo blankets on the twins they're finally ready to into the car for good!!!!

Threw the car on the trailer to ISS Forged today to have them build my exhaust system.

It will be a 4" system from the downpipes back.

Also i'm using a 4" in/out Vibrant straight through resonator in the mid-pipe, and a 4" in/out Vibrant straight through muffler in the rear section.

its a thing of beauty really...

Also they started lathe turning my wheels and i got to see my centers getting they're profile made...and these things are going to look incredible!!! definitely nothing like it out there!!

finally! WHEELS WHEELS WHEELS!!!

well the front ones for now at least...the front wheels got cut, and i took them over to the body shop to make sure the fit was correct before they went in for finishing and powder coating

and i got say the fitment gurus at ISS Forged are freaking ON-POINT!!!! first shot out of the hole and the wheels fit exactly how i want them too!!!

I'm proud to say theses are the very first ones, and i'm lucky enough to say that i'm the only person in the world that has them!!! pretty freaking cool!!!

It sick to know i designed my own wheel and it looks exactly how i wanted them too!!!
i'm sorry if i sound a little braggy or ****y here guys, i'm just so excited about how they turned out!

I'll have pics of them on the car, tires mounted and all by tomorrow night!!
