try 28k with a full build from exhaust, engine, turbo kit, suspension, transmission.

but i did sell 12k off my car in stock stuff. so out of pocket $16k.

Well $15K is only in the motor. Not including suspension, transmission etc... I'm still running ported eaton and fuel system.

You will not need a very powerful laptop. This one is one sale for $299 and would be enough for data logging:

Samsung 15.6" Laptop 4GB Memory 500GB Hard Drive NP365E5C-S05US - Best Buy

That really sucks to hear about your arthritis. I have a feeling that someday it will hurt to drive mine as I have had multiple knee surgeries already. Just get it to the point that it is fun to drive and comfortable for you to drive as well :beer:

Congrats on your build buddy. My car was down for a year back in 09 while I saved up for a rebuild. It's a wonderful feeling when it finally fires back up and is ready to roll again :)

I still have to get my final tune . I still have to wire up my BAP. Then can make appointment.
Got only 1 E85 station here so probably wont do a tune for that. I would: Like"to but dont think I'll have enough fuel? What you think?

My Fuel system Consistent of .. (Returnless still) have BA 3000 JLT CAI.
2×GT 40 pumps
Fore hat fuel line up grade 8an 1 way fuel check vavle. Aeromotive 100 micron fuel filter.
2 Level 2 FPDM's with wire wiring up grade
Fore Injector rails
80 pound Injectors
And have to wire up the KB 40 Amp BAP

Would this be enough for E85?
My old setup fuel was all the same except I had 60 lbs injectors made 600 rwhp duty cycle was @82%

KB 2.6 have 3 pulleys 3.25 3.00 2.75. My old set up it had 3.25 pulley made 19 psi boost
With that being true. I think the 2.75 pulley would make appx 20 to 21 psi.
Now I have kooks LT and 24 more cubes 3.700 bore. Will probably lose 2 pounds of boost so I read.

Dude, people are reading it. Sucks to hear about your health issues, but you built a car that is winning shows. Not sure if that helps, but it's cool to know that something you did is getting recognition :beer:

Sorry to hear about you selling the car, especially after all that work. Good to hear the car did well and you sold it to someone you know.

Hope you get better and don't get upset because no one responded quickly. Very busy at least for me, can't speak for all.
