[QUOTE="stradt03, post: 15033053, member: 28012"] Slow progress....I got kind of pissed with the car and the oil leak so I put it in the garage and left it there for a few days just so I could take a break from it. [B][U]Oil Leak[/U][/B] I hopped under it the other day and let it run while looking for the oil leak and I think I found it. The MM oil filter relocation kit has 5/8" textile feed/return hoses that run from the oil cooler to the passenger side of the radiator where the filter is mounted. I observed that when the car gets up to operating temp, the feed/return hoses get saturated with oil. These hoses are almost 9 years old so I assume they are just old and beginning to weep a bit. I ordered up new hose and -AN fittings and made new lines and mounted it all back up yesterday. I'm also taking some time to clean up the mess that the dripping oil created. My thoughts are that if the area is oil free, then it will be easier to identify any additional oil leaks (if oil was leaking from additional areas). [U][B]Race Fuel[/B][/U] I also decided that I'm going to run meth injection rather than race fuel. The car is primarily street driven and race fuel is not readily available anywhere near me. I'm looking at both the Snow Performance and Alky Control Systems kits. I'm thinking that I like the Alky Control Systems kit better since it has all braided stainless lines and will come with a 3 gallon tank that mounts in the trunk. [U][B]Mufflers[/B][/U] Still looking for a nice 3" straight-through muffler to replace the Bassani mufflers that were on the car. I'm still torn between going with a "race" muffler like a bullet or a magnapack or if I should just go with a traditional straight through like the one listed below. [url]https://www.magnaflow.com/products?partNumber=14264[/url] I'm also toying with the idea of going to open-air waste gates. The waste gates are currently plumbed into the down pipes so to accomplish this, I would have to cut the flange off the down pipe and weld up a plate to block the hole. The updates are still coming....just a little slower than before. [/QUOTE]
