Awesome!

You are an inspiration (ugly, but an inspiration nevertheless!)

Andrew You are the MAN! NOW you probably have another month of misc. small **** to do and then on a nice, clear and dry day in early March you can take that puppy out on the street and let it go! Congrats.

Just remember, anything you break driving it has to be fixed in the next 4 months...

Best to find out ASAP if anything isn't right. I had 20 miles on the clock before heading down to SITM in '04. To say I was nervous about something breaking during that trip would be an understatement.

good job Andrew! That was a lot of work and not in the most hospitbale of climates or work areas either...kids... bikes...family running around..etc etc.! Great job man! Now, is this a new an improved inlet/manifold or did you just bolt up the stuff you took off?

Unfortuantely, DR wasn't quite ready for me. I really wanted to get it back together and make sure the heads can handle the boost. So I'll drive with the old setup on it for a couple months and then swap over to the newer setup before SITM. At least that's the plan for now.

I really can't wait to take it out for a drive.

Sounds great. Looks like a ton of work, and I'm amazed you did it in your garage. Glad to know that there's guys with this kind of experience/knowledge in my neck of the woods.

When I get mine, we'll have to line 'em up. (just kidding, ha ha)

Congratulations. I liked the video. Hopefully you will have some nice weather so you can road test it soon. I'm sure you are really looking forward to that.
