Finally finished (pics inside)
Monday, September 12, 2011 8:16 PM
So after all the headache ive went through this year with this car its finally done. The engine i had earlier this year had malfunctioned due to a faulty fuel pump not supplying enough fuel pressure resulting in detonation and blowing the ring lands off of the pistons. Well i had the motor remachined and new 9:1 pistons installed. I am still supercharged with the m62 charger and a 3.1 pulley and i must say it feels like its going to be very exciting to drive when i get the engine broken in. I had also installed the racetronix w-body fuel pump.

thats a bad pic. the mesh actually looks really good in person. its silver with clear coat on it so its pretty nice looking.

Looking back at one of your first front end pics, looks like you had it black at one point. Maybe its the pic. Just my opinion but I think the mesh stands out too much when its silver on black.

car looks good except for that sticker on the hood and emblem. I actually like the mesh.

I'm curious to see how boost is effected because of the front mount and the fact that the m62 is fixed displacement unlike a vortec or other similar blowers.

Thanks guys. Im using a water to air manifold that mark @ OEM made and has heat exchanger tubes in it. I just finished hooking up the lines and bleeding the system tonite so ill see what kind of difference it makes in my IAT's. They seemed a little high with it not hooked up. On a 75-80 degree day and in stop and go traffic i datalogged like around 150 ish under 4 psi here and there. Cruising at night tonite which is around 70 degrees out i was seeing 120 ish temps. Is that normal to see? I am using a 62mm RSM throttlebody magik.
