RE: my twin turbo 331 build post
it was about 20 minutes between when we first turned the key to when it idled well enough without some one holding the tb open a little bit so i didnt bother pulling the camera out. plus my computer just crashed so i lost my editing program. i have to pull the gas tank out today to fix the leaks so unless i get it back saterday i wont have it untill monday which means no tuning till then

RE: my twin turbo 331 build post
just so you have something to look at i took a couple more pics for you.
this is the motor all put together. its a wiring nightmare but i can clean that up later.
this is where im going to mount my nitrous bottle. right now its just sitting there. if not on the driver's side, itll be in the same spot on the passenger side. whatever is easier to reach around and open.
my shifter and cluster of gauges and switches
my main gauges. these 3 gauges provide me with the following:
engine rpm
wideband o2
water temp
incoming air temp
maf voltage
injector pulse width (in miliseconds)
injector duty cycle (in percent)
program number im running in my ems
boost/vac
left narrow band o2 voltage
right narrow band o2 voltage
ya its a mess but its functional

ive heard that the turbos make em quieter, so it might not get loud unless you run a chamber muffler - which most say is no no with turbos, so you might just have to enjoy the retarded rush of badass speed rather than the sound of your car from now ..... thats got to suck[8D]

You should zip-tie some of those wires up inside the car and hide that wire mess you got goin, and maybe tuck a few under the dash.... I see that your car is all raced out! Is this a street car or just for the strip? Looks pretty nice, it should smoke just about anything thats on the street! And i see that roll cage is pretty much a full cage! Damn i am curious.... how much money do you have dumped into the entire car so far?

Wow......that's all I can say......just WOW. Amazing car, I'm rarely speechless at the site of an engine unless it is some GTC racer or supercar, but that is one bad looking car. Can't wait for vids.
