When I slam my foot to the floor, that powa'h has to get ought de motor to da transmixer... I tink dis ting up to da challenge....Act Twin disc,

Also note, there is a substantial rotating weight reduction with the design of the flywheel. not only does it reduce weight, but it also brings the rotating mass closer to the centerline... allowing for a faster spin up of the motor when it's hammer time....

Looking good so far man. You're building it right and giving me ideas for if/when things break on mine.

I figured it was better to heat shield everything while I had the motor on the floor and I could reach it! That way I don't need to do any emergency wiring of O2 sensor or primary engine harness on the side of the road a month from now!

Like the cold pipes that run under the manifolds, and the A/C lines. Knowing Robert, short blast down the highway will probably be the least of my worries. The 5 minute burnouts tend to make some heat under the hood......Robert!

Note the thickness of the heat wrap... I'll have to get someone else to speak up about the braided line coming up on the left, though I think that is the clutch bleeder line...

The 2 lines that are T'd with the black heat wrap are the oil feeds to both turbos. We supply provisions to tap into the oil sending unit with a single supply line and then it T's into 2 smaller lines to feed the turbos. The attached to detail on your install looks great

I am proud to have Granatelli TT system on your beast

Awesome stuff Robert !!!

So glad to see it coming along so quickly. It will give you time to do a little road tuning before C5Fest 2.

...and you can't go wrong with JR's TT kit. What a great setup !!!

Joe just came by with your wheels and tires. Motor is in the car now, still lots of pipes to install but it's moving right along. I hope to be driving it Monday.
