Default it's alive!

I finished the blower install tonight and started her up to check for leaks. MMMMMMMMMMMM she has a nice whistle!!!

all I could do was let it idle for 30 seconds though since it is not tuned. It idled well but I could smell the gas as it was running quite rich. (yay 42# injectors!)

Yeah, I'll take a break on mods for a little bit and just enjoy the blower. Eventually I'll get to some suspension work and finish up the appearance mods

I don't have a DOHC either.. that's a GT with a mach 1 hood on it

I put much of the kit together myself so I spent a few hours a nite for a couple weeks working on it. There's a lot of custom in this one.

You could tap the oil pan ahead of time and put a plug in it. You can also swap the fuel pump prior to the install

Then you could easily get it done in a weekend if you got the basic kit

it sounds tempting, did you have to relocate the battery?

You don't have to relocate it if you get the non aftercooled kit
