Well, i ran into my first big problem last night.
I had gapped my new tr6 plugs, installed the lowering bracket for the driver's side coil pack, installed the wiring harness for the intercooler, and re-set the intercooler hoses around to the back side of the block.
I was minutes away from setting the intercooler on the motor, when i
did this.........


I was trying to remove the fuel rail bolts, so i could remove the temporary
bolts that aren't used to install it on the block, when i stripped them.

"open letter to Kenne Bell, you guys pack these things so well, you could drop them out of a plane.......would you mind terribly not to torque the fuel rail bolts that you tell us to remove to a such a high level??
Thanks"

Here's the good news, my friends John and Josh over at Atlanta Performance & Fabrication wacked at them with a hammer and a breaker bar, and POOF!, they broke free!!!So BIG thanks to Josh and John, you guys are awesome!

So now i'm back on track....

Hell yeah.
Now i come to find out my inch pound torque wrench only goes down to 120, and i need 89 for the intercooler bolts to the heads.

So my buddy Alan has one, and said he'd bring it tomorrow....

But at least it looks purrrrdy...

Do you know how many times I've taking off that stupid f&*!ing front clip for things? Also, more difficult if you're running 20x10(275/40) fronts. Tires need to be pulled.

Now, you're gonna make me take it off again to paint my intercooler...

Looks better with the stealth action.

Stark,

I just noticed you have a balance/equalizing line on the rear of your fuel rail. Is that KB stock?

It's huhhhhh....old camera, yeah. Bad flash. It puts extra fuel equalizing
lines in all my pics....go back and look....

My return style fuel system will replace the BAP. I'm sure the BAP is fine for my target rwhp goal, but i'm just, well, a gas whore.
There, i said it.

I'd like to take a minute to talk about nachos.
Most people take for granted the "ideal" nachos aren't made perfect by
Chille pepper and good ground chuck alone. Chips have a big impact.
I favor the 'touch of lime" chips, as they can balance the salsa and sour cream into a level playing field for the most important, and mostly over
looked topping.

Cheese.
And it's not just which cheese, but hows it cut.....
If your gonna make nachos, get the right cheese grater....








And the jalapeno's should never, ever, be forgotten.....
