Re: Twins!

Was wondering what you were up to when the 383 went up for sale.

Look forward to seeing this setup being built. That elbow has to go though, not only is it too high, it is fugly. I know YOU can do better.

Re: Twins!

Very stout build.
What do you expect out of the combo w those turbos. Full trim? I know you got a full trim planned out for that monster.
I have an op to get a few of the exact same turbos. But hesitant to use em on my build.

Re: Twins!

Update.... wiring and more wiring...

everything is soldered and heatshrink, but butt connectors anywhere. may not be the nicest but there was a lot of wiring to run and tie together between the EFI, gauges, digital shift light, fuel pump controller, meth system, Holley EFI, Boost leash boost controller/pulse leash combo, transbrake, neutral safety etc... while still keeping the lights and whatnot fully functional. The Holley EFI has internal datalogging which has been tied into a input on the ECM so I can trigger it when driving. Both gauge panels were wired on weatherpack connectors so they can be easily removed.
