Drove my car for the first time this year after all the changes. No issues, so now I just need to switch back to e85 and start tuning! Figured I'd post some pictures of the current setup. notable things I did were switch from 2.8 kb mammoth to 3.4 whipple crusher. deleted front intercooler tank and got a 7gallon tank in the trunk. Also deleted the coolant tank and switched to an older style cooling system with just an overflow tank in the fender as I wanted the "empty" engine bay look. Then doing some other minor changes, fore rails, new upr rear suspension, thumprrr tensioner. The goals are high 700's whp and some solid 9 second passes finally. here's some pics of the new setups;

the tank has an internal Rule 2000 and I have that feeding the stock pump. Seems to work very well so far as it's got a good amount of flow. Here's a vid I took of it:

Nice work, it certainly looks different with no coolant tanks in the engine bay.

Love the open engine bay and trunk tank. What all did you do suspension wise?

Where did you tuck the wires that run along the firewall?

I dont think I moved any wires on the firewall. which ones are you talking about?

Looks awesome, car is a beast! Everything work out with the OEM lower I sold you?

So far so good! I've only put about 5 miles on it but I dont see there being any issues.

Got a set of upr pro series lowers to replace some junk ones I had in, and a upr arb. Pretty much full upr rear now, and full racecraft up front.
