J/K, DOB kit. I get to buy what I want which I like. So most people just get a 340 pump in the stock hat, but I want a ton of room to grow so I already picked up a GT500 hat.

I'll update this thread with the stuff I get, my plan is to pick up everything I need minus the manifold this summer.

Just picked up the dual FPDM wiring harness for the GT500 hat for $125. Looks like I'm going to piece together a GT500 fuel system for ~$360

Hard part was finding the harness. Lots of used GT500 hats out there with little mileage for $200 or under. I got mine from JDM so I know its in pretty good shape.

I know the FPDM's are dirt cheap, so that was easy.

I called JDM and asked where I could get the harness, and they said they used to get them through Saleen. Since Saleen sells the "extreme" fuel system (just a GT500 setup) they have a part # for the harness. Once I found that I was golden.

Big things to get now besides the manifold are: Heat exchanger (2011+ GT500, if you see one let me know), GT500 injectors, then the actual blower+elbow+tb+intake.

I'm really interested in seeing how this turns out.

In the mean time I may be doing a pulley swap before I go back to Pete's, step it up to 8-8.5lbs :-D

Should be fun. The only part I dread is the hose and fittings I need to get, as there is no set so its all up to you.

Oh well!
