So, unfortunately I am at a standstill until I can figure out an issue.

I went to mount the BMR A Arms to the Steeda K Member and it seems like we are off an 1/8” or so either on the A Arms or the K Member mounting for the A Arms.

I am hoping to at least get the gas tank dropped this weekend and start removing all the factory fuel lines.

Nice grouping of parts! Interested to hear how you like the Tork Tech kit. I’m between that and a KB 2.8 for my build.

I like the TT Kit as it gives you options of any 03-04 Cobra Blower.

Anyway, here is some pics of the K Member issue I am running into. Called Steeda and emailed them pictures. I feel good about them taking care of it.

That's great news. Hopefully the fit will be perfect this time.

I checked one side and it was tight but fit. I am contemplating stripping it and getting it coated as close to Mineral Gray as I can.

In the meantime... Nothing overly exciting this shipment. New OEM COPs. Also new lifters and followers from the GT500 that will help let the car spin to 8k RPMs.

Nothing big to update. I am in Florida with family. I did swap out bypass valves. I got an amazing deal on a Whipple low vacuum bypass valve and decided to take a chance. Got it installed and looked and noticed the low boost valve has one port where the stock has two. I called VMP and they stated the low boost valves only have one port provision. So all good on the Whipple and VMP low boost valves being interchangeable.


Like mistletoe, I’m hung where you will see.

Try to enjoy your time in Florida. Sorry about the weather, my guys at the Mag Lab and HAARP are both off for the holidays

So, I went to work on the wiring harnesses for the radio and the gauges. The radio headunit is done. The gauges, not so much. The pins for the connectors kept distorting upon crimping so I need to go back to research on connectors. I did have a good time working, watching the NMRA, and enjoying some drink.

I got my J2Fab 270A alternator so I should have no power issues.

And I also got my custom overlays for the PSV-1 and ECF-1 to match my Simco Gauges.

Got some work done. I removed the 12V in the center console and replaced it with a dual USB port. This will plug into the DMX906S, one is for the Apple CarPlay. I worked on prepping the rear axle housing. Plan is to get it cleaned, prepped, and coated/painted. I also worked on the gas tank. I got the Evap Lines cleaned and removed the two clips to remove the rust, prime, and paint. Last thing I did was get the FORE fuel hat and pumps installed into the Glenn’s Performance Baffled Tank.

I am probably going to make a change to one of the pieces of the build. I will decide this week.
