ok cool cool, probbly just start out with these plugs then since they only have a couple thousand on them,
sooo i ran into my first big problem, which is the crank pulley hits my electric fan... actaully it barely touches, any sugestions?
then my lightning maff is to large for the paxton intake, so i just ordered a andersonmotorsport power pipe which is supposed to add a good deal of power.... we will see

got a pic so we can see what your talking about? would it be possible to take the pulley to a local machine shop and tell them to trim turn a little bit off of it?

and you ordered a power pipe? hopefully you got 2 day delivery, remember you only have till friday

hopefully as long as i dont send anything flying into the oil pan and ya i have pics but once again for some reason they wont transfer, im going to go over to my buddies house tomorrow and try and get the m up for you guys! i got the fmu all done, and brackekt all mounted with smog and alt. (slow working due to the weather though). Tomorrow im picking up a tap, so i can tap the oil pan, and run those lines...along with most likely mounting the supercharger.
the power piipe should be here quick since it is being shipped from andersonmotorsports which is 4 hours away from my door step, and i read in a magaine with a v2, the power pipe added 2 pounds boost, 2 tenths off the quarter, and added 4 mph on top
ctgreddy, ya not sure if that would work, i was going to try and move the fan a bit and see what happens... its the center part of the fan blade that is hitting
302army, ya the rearend was proffessionally built by a speed shop by me, it has 4.30 gears, 31 spline axles, trickflow girdle, auburn diff thats said to be good to 600, and the rear was straightened and the axle tubes werre welded to the pumpkin for added strength. Then i have an aluminum drive shaft, and a freshened TKO600...... so for the most part everything after the engine is bullet proof (knock on wood)
