Well I’m far far behind, here’s the recaps.
I had been collecting some parts leading up to the shootout, but was being lazy about getting them on the car. Well, the day before the shootout, I went to start the car before work and it wouldn’t fire. I didn’t hear the pump kicking on so I used link to prime it and got nothing. Checked voltage at the pump to verify it and it had power but wasn’t turning on. Great. Guess I’m calling in to work ANOTHER day so that I can make the shootout haha.
I had a walbro 450 a friend had given to me still sitting on the shelf so I started by putting that in.
Bought an aem X wideband (it’s great) and installed it the day before the shootout. Also redid all the gauge wiring, adding a fuseblock powered by the windshield wiper motor (that wire was already ran to under dash)
Pulled the cyclone intake mani apart and resealed it with rtv. Here’s a pic of the phenolic IM heat spacer that I added awhile back. They work great, seal great, and are reusable to the max. A must have for any dsm for $30.
Drove to the shootout and back with no real problems. Had a good time with friends. There was a total of 7 of us that drove up from Indianapolis.
