Great detail with the pictorial updates as usual gunna 

Just thinking back to when you couldn't post a pic to save your life lol ;)

 

Not sure what help this is if any, my e85 tune makes 438rwkw/587rwhp on a single 460 in tank pump - no surge

Joe from CMS did say it's starting to push the envelope

 

Any news from dominello?

Dominello should have the box back to me on the 24.5 2016 lol had to put the year on it . that's not bad on a single in tank ,so mine should see the same or not more then . Thanks for that .there are people who say my set up will not even get close to 600 hp .look jamie has done enough of these by now so I trust him to have given me the right stuff and if not its not the end of the world as it will be fine with me .will be nice just starting it and driving it .powercruise is not even important anymore to me as there are other events I can take it to as well .realy just want this to end .there are some stuff that realy scares me a bit to do like the braded lines to the serge and to it .even the engine cooler lines and the trans lines are scary to me as I would hate to get them wrong . Starting to take to long as most of my weekends I work a litle on the side and then work on the car is a struggle to get motivated .would love to pay someone to finnish it but that is not what I had planned so I will keep at it for now

I plumbed my rail and reg  differently to what you have planned.  I have two feed lines, each going to each end of the rail. The middle port on the rail goes to the reg. This helps to reduce pressure drop across the rail. 

 

 It might also pay to go with  larger lines, to future proof further upgrades. :D

Having been down this road myself, I can certainly related to the way that you're feeling right now. I don't think that the majority realise how much time and effort goes into a build. Especially if you are planning for something that is aesthetically pleasing and reliable reliability. It took me over 14 months to get my car to the stage that it would run and as I work away from home, I spent more that half of my R&R each fortnight working on it. In the end, you lose the passion and  it becomes a chore. Only now, that we have started doing dome road tuning, that I have started to smile. I still have a way to go (Cosmetically) before I can class the car as finished, but the end is in sight. 

 

Stay the line with quality of the components being used and the work being performed.  Keep at it mate, in the end the rewards will be ongoing.

Can I ask why this scare you? I doubt given the quality of work you've produced so far that it will change you technically so what's your concern?

Take the credit where its due mate you do quality work.

Why you looking at glides ffs? No faith in dominello. Id go a t400 with a gear vendors under/overdrive before a bloody glide...I know they can be built strong but 2 gears? You need a fairly big stall with a glide as well, 2 gears and 2nd is 1:1 I think so need a big stall to get up in the power in first. Some cars even use a little shot of nitrious to get up on the converter so they can leave the line with boost. Seriously a pretty sh*tty option for the street and probably overkill unless your trying to get 2000hp to the ground. Then there are very few options

sponsored stalkbook posts... ignore them and move on with your current pathway. As above, you're doing it right :)
