Not much right now, I’m waiting on the intake to be finished before any of the remaining fabrication can be done. Beau Felcher did change the color from red to black, brakes are complete, waiting on a few fuel system fittings so that can be buttoned up.

I'm curious, why the change? From red to black? Better coating? Thanks

Just to make everything look nice and fresh underneath and match all the new parts. Just figured it would look good instead of matching the body.

Leight fuel door charging panel

Wilson 105mm Hi-Boost dual seal throttle body

No Corners Cut Fabrication 2000hp Slim Line intercooler mounted

FFP Customs pedals

I am looking into a few kits that make it a hydraulic setup. McLeod and Tilton make some stuff. Weighing my options with ease of driving and reliability in mind so I’m not sure what to do yet.

I initially wanted a Wilson intake, but they wanted me to send them the heads to port match. That seemed ridiculous and I wasn’t interested in having the timing and top end disassembled for that. I looked into Frankenstein but only found Coyote manifolds. I prefer not to use an adapter so talked to Shelby Mike and Hogan’s. Hogan’s lead time was 8-10 weeks and I didn’t think that was too awful so went with them. 21 weeks later it arrives unported and with the wrong design upper. I was extremely upset but the owner promised to make it right as quickly as humanly possible. I have to say Hogan’s customer service was great. Hopefully the current lead time on parts and how busy everyone is led to the mixup and doesn’t this reflect on how they normally operate. Overall in the end I’m happy with Hogan’s.

Correct upper and ported

That looks so good.

He mentions in the first post his goal is to break 200mph in the 1/2 mile.
