    The oval ports don't look like this. I completely gasket matched them and polished as well.

    Not sure if there's still interest in this but here's my progress up to this point now. All I need to do now is get my idler mounted, install all my supporting mods, and get it tuned.

    Methanol tank and pump mounted and lines ran.

    Niccceee man. This may be a stupid question, but have you had it running at all with the sc on there? Also how much boost do you think you will be able to get?

    Not yet man. haha i wish. The trickiest part is trying to figure out a belt routing that'll keep my AC. And i have an underdrive pulley I'm gonna install with it to help lower the boost so i'm estimating 7-8

    I figured you wouldn't be able to run it yet, but I had to ask. If you dont mine me asking though, how much has it cost you so far?

    the drivers side rear cylinder looks like it will be starved for air with how the intake plate is sitting.

    and i see you are using your serpintine belt to power it. hopefully you dont use too big of a pulley and overdrive your alternator. i think the cobra guys have that problem when they up the boost.

    but im very interested in seeing this thing run! :peace:
