Oil change and cleaner a bunch of adhesive goo off the euro front bumper cover. It's going to need a lot of prep work before it is ready to paint.
Shipped out my old 951 engine to it's new owner.

The goal was to make the a kit that is
A... simplicity and easy to install
B... uses as much modern tech as possible without messing up the above rule
C... not be crazy expensive
mission accomplished
We are all done with building and tuning the stage 1 kit. We had to back off the power a bit on the stage 1, otherwise we ran out of injector range with the stock injectors. Stage 2 will be with a MAF, bigger injectors, and intercooling.

Hey sorry I missed that one... Yes AC is kept by using a smaller alternator as culture said.
At this point the stage one is very cost effective, simple, and probably the best way to go. I found new 36 lb injectors that work great, you keep the stock DME ( it gets a new chip), no body mods, and it installs easily in a day. Plus gives you a very strong, yet safe almost 300HP.
Stage 2 is much much more complicated, a lot more work, and the engine gets into the HP danger zone unless you change out the rods.

that would be the hood of my Ford truck
She's currently tucked away in the pole barn with the other cars. Best I can do at the moment is start it up there, do a walk around, and rev her up a few times for you.

i put her up, but hibernation may get cut short with this crazy weather. 70deg to 37 back to near 60 in 3 days. 
wish i had more time and space to do a host of winter projects. I'm 100miles short of 200k and it would be a great season to do a bunch of maintenance. will prob have to wait until spring tho….unless some fat man in a red suit bestows a lot of treats from the catalog
