Ill tell more later. Started it up, and once the computer relearned itself and got the timing set, she purred like a kitten:D. Drove it 30+ miles home from GT350Mustang's house/garage without incident. Now Im going to bed. I think I will sleep good tonight;)

You know, I think I just realized what WFO now means! I had seen that before (WFO racing). And, yes I resisted. Even had a 94/95 Black cobra (or at least had the wheels) come up beside me and romp a little. I wanted to bite sooo bad:D I have the 255 lph in the tank and the Trex plumbed in but not hooked up electrically. So considering that, I didn't want to romp on it at all. The most I gave it was maybe 1/4 throttle and it instantly made 2 lbs of boost. Hopelly I'll get some pics tonight, after I take a nap! I am running on 3 hours of sleep right now and got the toothpics holding up my eyelids. BTW, it looks like the BBQ paint is going to have a short life on those manifolds. When I looked at the manifolds after getting home last night, they were grey in color....I think I "cremated" (sp?) the paint :o

Good Job Trevor! If you have your Trex fuel lines hooked up but not wired in please do so ASAP. I tried this and it cost me a intank fuel pump becuase the Trex isn't designed to have fuel pushed through it, I blame the resulting backpressure for causing my 190 intank to fail. Just better to be safe than sorry.
I can't wait to see your run!

Thanks for the tip Big (already forgot your name) Shot. Well I think we have the first casualty. The clutch pedal is rock hard at the pedal....feels like a burnt cable. Didnt really have time to really look into it tonight.
I shot a few quick pics of the motor in the car. Things still have greasy hand prints and such over it so its not pretty. Cant really see much of anything but then again, that was one of the kit's big selling points;)

HAHA, I have had thoughts of grinding the "incon systems" off the mass air tube. In all honesty, anyone that know anything about Mustangs would figure it out anyways. To most anyone else, they would just think "incon systems" makes cold air induction kits :D
