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.
