The car started. Having some issues with the Cosworth sealing and getting vacuum leaks. Ordered new gaskets and having them overnighted. Yeap... Overnighting gaskets. LOL!

Change the location of the JWT intake filter. This will help the hood close properly. Also have the LightWerkz '06 headlight in.

Still needs an alignment but on the ground.

Car is not completed but picked it up late Saturday night. Was able to drive it on a very conservative tune. Pulls pretty good and can't wait for final results. I'm dropping it back off to PowerFab tomorrow morning before depart back to Iraq. Hopefully I'll be home in Oct for the Texas Mile. Below are some pics...

Thanks! No "real" numbers. Think with a very conservative tune it made 428/390 on 8psi. Very flat power band. Pulls hard though. Can't wait to double the boost level. :driving:
