Soooo, dyno and tuning @ Clints this weekend?
I'll see if I can get some dyno time for you. They owe me you know.

damn bro i think ur more excited than i am! and yes Clint def owes you some time for your services. I doubt I'll be doing anything this weekend, however given the temperatures and potential boost this thing might make, I might need to tune on the dyno this time.....as i fear doing 3rd gear pulls on cold roads is a recipe for disaster.
I could always tweak it on the street as the roads warm up.....will discuss over the phone with you tomorrow.

yeah I knew where you would stand on that idea. I'll see what my feelings are once I get back from kansas city and get my fuel system installed.
We all owe you bro!
good idea for sure. that's partly why I'm not in a huge hurry to get everything done. Dont think I'll be going down to D&G to use the mustang dyno anytime soon.
hows the 2.9 sound 
I cant wait to see what numbers this thing puts down on e85. Congrats on an amazing setup.
Your motor makes me happy in my pants if you know what I'm saying Erik! Everything looks so good :rockon:
hows the 2.9 sound
quiet as can be at idle.....im sure she will be a bit louder on the street / dyno :rockon:
i am curious as well.......we will see soon!
I know the feeling :lol: thanks for the compliment.....
I hope you guys get this thing tuned this weekend and get some numbers. I am dieing to see how she does. I and doing a 9.5:1 motor and a 3.4 crusher on E85. So I cant wait to see what your car does, so I have a little better idea for my car. Good luck man, I wish you the best!!!!
i really dont think i will get it tuned this weekend......supposed to rain sat and sun, and i dont drive in the rain nor at wet roads. im sure your setup will make some awesome power as well.
boo. i was hoping for numbers.
oh well. till next week.

It's horrible. Cold and snow :bash: Keeps the mileage down on our cars I guess :thumbsup:

Thats definately a lot of hard work and elbow grease done in that engine bay.
What kind of hoses are those black hoses and where did you get them from?
What kind of catch can are using? Looks very clean:rockon:
and the weather continues to suck here.....
not even gonna mess with it Tony.....the stock reservoir is only temporary anyway. I will be building a custom reservoir when time allows. Had a nice Pfab one before....but sold it. Who knows.....maybe ill build a tank for the trunk and ditch the reservoir like i did with the stock coolant degas tank.
what kind of paint do you use to paint that polyethyelene reservoir? I am curious as to what would work....
That hose is Fragola 8000 pushlock hose. I have used it all across the board.....and it has been impervious to e85. This hose has been good to me, and I will be sticking with it. Got it from Summit
the catch can is a Moroso vacuum pump breather. Comes with filter, a nice T band clamp for mounting, all for $76 @ summit. Thanks for the compliments!

Any update on the tune? Just trying to check in on this beast of yours
havent even started messing with the tuning...been a bit hectic lately. However, the car is on the ground, all cleaned up and ready to start tuning. Perhaps this weekend tuning will start....weather pending obviously.
Car is driveable as it sits now....but obviously no WOT yet.
I have a mafia set on 2 at the moment, and I know I will need to set it on 3 for the amount of air this thing will be moving. Must rescale everything, yada yada, do STFTs, then on to WOT tuning
