Thats a sick looking car! Im not a big fan of the silver stripes in the sig picture but the one of the hole car looks great!

I am going to paint it black then going to see if stripes look good with cowl. If not Ill remove it.

Have had them for some time just not installed yet and the reason I went with Cobra Rs as I know they will clear these babies sitting in my garage.

We had a leak in the oil pan. Turns out instead of using The Right Stuff or silicon between windage tray and oil pan a 2nd gastket was used and caused pan to leak. I repaired that as well as redid some stuff like pipes, swapped some bolts for SS, urethane sway bar bushings, Procharger oil drain hose, billet pulleys, -10 AN catch can lines, catch can oil drain hose. HKS wet mushroom filter only that that will fit. Next up is to take it to the dyno and see what it does. I am very interested to see what its does with the filter and without. I am not too convinced on how the filter looks but as long as its keeping dirt out Im good.

id like to know how you setup the catch can and the lines to it, more specifically what did you do to "tap" into the head i know you used the holes were the pcvs used to go but were did you get the parts to make it the way yours is. If thats confusing i apologize i can take it to PM and try and clarify.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I actually got the first set of this special fitting that goes into the valve covers for a -10an line. Call Torq and ask for Eric tell him you want the fittings that go into the vavle cover like the ones Larry got a few weeks ago http://www.gettorq.com/store/ .

I am not sure how familiar you are with fittings but I can give you a run down on the thread if you like.

Knuckles@Empire · Apr 23, 2011

im familiar with -an fittings if thats what you mean, and i appreciate the info. I simply could not find anyone who made this and didnt neccesarily want to go fabbing one up. Thanks.

Has 04 build block, Diamond pistons, with MMR stage 3 heads, stock 04 cobra sticks. Canton oil pan with windage tray. Magna fuel system with Fore dual pump fuel hat and Fragola teflon lines. Sullivan intake, custom made pipe piping. Procharger D1 with red race valve, 3 core intercooler. T56 26 spline tranny. 3.73 gears with 31 spline axles and TA cover. Bassani mid length headers, Bassani X pipe to SLP power flo mufflers. Maximum Motorsports Coil overs on Bilstein stocks and struts. UPR Kmember with Steeda upper and lowers in the rear. Thats what I can remember off the top of my head.

I was unable to complete the dyno session as the belt was shredded by a loose pulley. Before it did we made 540 @ 6000. There is tons of power left and I was not even at full boost. He is a vid of the last dyno session, you can see it was running real rich and some bugs were discovered which I have repaired myself since then. I no longer let any shop work on my car. I am going to take it in for another session soon.

I put it there since its the shortest run and vents right out the cowl. Once I get the courage to hide the wiring and some lines I might move it. Good thing about me is I am not one to leave things as they are if there is a better way.

very nice car

venom · Apr 24, 2011

New corners and fogs installed.

venom · May 2, 2011

Since I made a new bigger pipe had to put it on a flatbed for a dyno session.

Fuel pressure dropping at the 500 hp mark. Turns out one of the pumps was bad. Should have 2 new ones by end of week and back on the dyno. It was also discovered that I will be making too much boost before redline. In the works will be a eBoost 2 controller and wastegate to maintain boost at save levels up to redline.
