And yeah, I'll leave the meth tuning to the tuner lol. I personally only want it for the cooling and maybe a little help in the fuel department

Check this out, it's for the AEM TruBoost. Actually it's for a different one but it works for the AEM.

You know right away something is wrong. It is when car is ~11:1 on meth and 13:1 off that things go boom. If it is 11:1 on meth and 15:1 off, car won't even rev properly and you know right away something is wrong and just need to be smart enough to get it fixed.

Good to know Nick, as usual thanks for the input man. It really helps me.

Either way, Matt knows his stuff so your in good hands.

Like when I had a fuel pump die, it would go 16-17:1 and car would just sputter and backfire. Couldn't rev over 4k because it was on 1 pump instead of 2 and would run out of power. Plugs looked great, didnt hurt anything, just because car wouldn't even run because of lack of fuel.

I couldn't agree more, Matt has my full confidence, it's that Rodney guy you gotta watch out for!

So They unpacked the engine, and will start the install the beginning of next month. Once Rodney starts on it, should be a couple weeks for them to do the install and tuning. Then is off to Florida to pick up the car! So all if all things go well (fingers crossed) then looks like I'll have it back third week of May.

I've decided to add one more gauge to my car, I'm going to go with AEM's fuel pressure gauge, it will match the other two, boost and AFR gauges I have on the A pillar. Instead of changing my dual pillar pod to a triple, I am going to go with this, I like it better than the triple A pillar pods I have seen.

Well, I couldn't stop there, I got on amazon and ended up buying:

New grill, top and bottom piece
Smoke colored headlight covers
Smoke colored taillight covers
Smoke colored foglight covers
Used covercraft car cover from a C5 member
12 quarts of Joe Gibbs DT40 synthetic oil and a oil filter. For when I bring the car home from florida.

Here is what the grill looks like.

Well everything has been delivered, I had the fuel pressure gauge, and new gauge pod, shipped directly to FSP. I had the smoked lens covers sent to my house, along with the grill, Joe gibbs DT40 oil, and filter, all shipped to my house. When I bring the car back from Florida, ill change the oil and install the grill, and lens covers. I also plan on plasti dipping the bow tie, in front and rear of the car. That should complete the blacked out look I am going for!

Here is a pic of the new grill, Id post a pic of the lens covers, but hell, we all know that those look like, lol.

While we have the motor and transmission out, I almost forgot to buy and install a remote bleeder for the transmission. So I contacted JDP and bought the Tick speed bleeder and stage II clutch reservoir kit.

Also having my Lakewood Sub frame Connectors installed. I wanted to install them last year, but when I bought them, the seller sent them without the brackets and bolts. Needless to say, you cant buy them separately, so I have to have some fabricated. FSP is taking care of that for me also.
Looking forward to getting the car back, Matt said that as soon as they finish whats on the lift, mine is next. Hopefully that is this week!

Thanks for the kind words, I always try to make sure I can either share my experience, or information I know to be fact. As for what will happen once I get my car back....C5 is kinda like speed for me, its a little addictive, and I find myself always going for more. I can see my postings going down a little, at least in the summer time....but winter will be boring for me!

[1KillerSS]

Decided to buy a LPE FPCM today off of a member here from C5. Got a good deal on it, and its designed for LPE's fuel dual pumps, which are a twin pump CTSV setup. whether it will work on my Livernois dual pumps is yet to be determined. For the price I figured I would give it a shot.

[Moreair1]

I must agree with that statement 100 percent that c5 is addictive like a drug lol

I can't wait to see this car in action! Great build!

Thank you! I can't wait to get the car back on the road!

So me and the seller both agreed to cancel the sale of the LPE FPCM, there were other parts needed that he wouldn't have off of the car In time for FSP finish the work.

After talking to Andy over at Livernois, he explained to me that my best route to go with his pump setup is the stock FPCM and my BAP. He's still confident that I have some left in the car. Time will tell....
