But if he does the install I have no doubt it'll be done correctly. The only suggestion I have on it is that I'd like to go heavy gauge from the battery to the Deatchworks relay harnesses for the fuel pumps. The current install uses the Deatchworks all the way up.

Don't get it twisted. I have had issues. Currently there was one issue that I believed to be VVEL related , but seeing pressure at 20psi at idle on one pump (2nd pump comes online at 5psi via Hobbs switch.) paints a pretty decent pic of why I wasn't hitting propper boost and making thebpower it should've. Outside that I had initially intended to do a 1.32ar and skipped it, then Seb recommended the 450s and to me it's a good idea. The fuel starve thing with the twin pumps had me twitchy till Seb told me it happened to him too ( With twin pumps. ) The diff was coming, I spent the first money for it on the wheels , but I covered it later. Once Derek is done I have no doubt the car will be upper echelon. Hell as it sits it's a beast. Who can knock the numbers on a car thats limping? That was 669 and 553 while slipping on the rollers at 17+. In hindsight I'm guessing Sebs safety was shutting it down due to fuel.
On the bright side, this bastard will make it even if I had to shut up, buy a new motor and start from scratch without telling anybody. I don't quit anything and I ain't average. I dont think anybody in this thread is.
Someone ban you. Didn’t we have this talk about fuel starve months prior to your build. And you might want to consider upgrading your top hat. Those plastic tend to get brittle when powering those pumps, just ask Charles how he knows.
