ok, last pictures before i fire it up (this weekend) I threw the switch for the battery....no smoke...no flames, all is good in my world! The pipes off the back of the mufflers are too close to the ground so i'll loosen the clamps and rotate them up a little for more ground clearance. I installed three ten inch fans, two as pullers behind the rad and one as a pusher lower infront of the intercooler....hopefully it keeps the engine temps in check. Time will tell.
At 10pm tonight (July 17th) i joined the running turbo car gang! I have some small exhaust leaks, i need to set the timing, fix a small tranny cooler line leak and do a few other little odds and ends....but the damn thing runs!!!

update...no vid yet Here is an update guys. The car is running awesome, i put an electric vaccume pump on it to control some oil seal problems and it worked out well. I took it to the track last night, it was very busy, first pass was just a sunday cruise to make sure all would be well at 100+ mph at the top end. Second pass was best of the night....and had to let off twice to keep it in my lane 11.66 @ 118mph the third pass was an 11.90 @ 118mph again letting off when shifting into second. Fourth pass got me booted off the track......messed with timing a bit, really woke it up and I was off the throttle three times and then just gave up.....track owner said i was done for the night because he said he could see both my doors (standing at starting line) as i was loosing it. 13.39@ 84mph I'm sure it has an easy 10 second pass in it (all this at only 9lbs of boost on pump gas!) but i think my rear suspension is not helping my cause. I must say......i love boost! On a side note....i don't think my C5 tranny is long for this world, the thing doesn't want to shift into third and i have to let up on the throttle a bit the get it to shift. Guess i know what my winter project will be!
