So now that I have a few (60+) hours and multiple passes under my belt with the current setup I have found a few things I am looking to do to the car up grade wise. Those up grades include

AEM dual nozzle meth kit
4 inch pulley
IAT and Baro sensor breakout
Custom full aluminum charge pipes

I am making the changes listed because I am in the search for a little more power and mostly lower IATs. My current setup includes the stock Steel pipes and feel even though the IATs are pretty low currently I can reduce them even further by fabricating new pipes out of aluminum. So I ordered up some new pieces from summit racing and will get on the fabrication tomorrow morning. (best way to spend a birthday). As always if you have any tips or lessons learned please share them.

Looks good, why the AEM over Alky Control?

Curious to see the results with the piping, do you plan on coating the piping at all?

I choose the AEM as I have many of their products: Wideband (2), Boost gauge, sensors, and even their cold air intake (when I was a poor import guy). I have never had a problem with their products. Also I like the simplicity of their meth controller and the design of their nozzles. I have no experience with Alky systems but had a less that favorable experience with them when I called to get some info about their system.

I think that initially I will leave the piping bare aluminum for data collection. But who knows? If I decide to take the car apart again for stage 19 build I may get the entire exhaust coated, might as well do the intake.

Don't forget to the those pipes bead rolled. It would suck if a coupler slipped off while you're gettin' it.

I run the same kit on my Maggie SS

I know a guy who does powder coating if you're interested. He has offered to let me spray things as long as I provide the paint and pay for the electricity. He probably wouldn't have a problem letting you do it while we shoot the shit. If you wanted him to do it then I could get a quote for you too. Pensacola probably has plenty of people that powder coat though.

Oh yeah. I've seen that happen before. Scary as crap.

I'll keep that in mind. I'll probably wait until I get the intake manifold from James Goertz, and make my catch can. Even still I'll probably just go with black.

So it has been a while. So far I have installed and tuned the AEM meth system and the Baro breakout. They work great together. When driving out of boost iat's are 20-30 over ambient then when into boost the meth system comes on and the iats drop to ambient to a little below. Which is usualy 50-60 degrees lower than where they would be without the meth. So that system is working great.

This week I was a little bored so i made a trip to my local Harbor freight. Came across their new Vulcan line of welders. So a Vulcan Tig 200 made its way home with me. I intial reaction was they look "nice" and the features are "abundant". I am by no means a professional welder. This is the first thing that i have tig welded in aluminum. Learned a lot very fast.

Well it finally happened. I went to the dyno today. I think I'm going to poset the results here and maybe start a new thread for the results and video.

So day after dyno comp got a FB message that I left something behind. Just picked it up yesterday.
