As before, the regulator has a boost reference port, so that as we get into boost, the regulator will increase lb/lb as the boost increases to keep a relatively neutral feed reference...

ie: at no boost, the regulator is feeding 60 psi... at 5 lbs of boost, the regulator ramps up to 65 psi, at 18 lbs of boost, the regulator will ramp the pressure up to 78 psi... What this equates to is nice steady state fuel feed across the board...
what about 13 psi?

You're killing me bro... LMAO...Shall I do a chart, or maybe a bell curve... 13 is unlucky so we skip that boost number

Joe is going to be doing the repairs to the interior console...

Late this afternoon, we finally got to stab it in... It took a little doing but we got it and it looks great...

The black plastic piece is put there to help me gauge how much of it has to be cut... I've already trimmed some of it...

There are also various pics of the trans prior to stabbing it in...

In the am, in addition to fitting it to its final position, I will be taking measurements and taking my drive shaft to Thrash is san Antonio to have the drive shaft length altered and the proper yoke installed on it...
Here is what happened today on Brandi

looks like you may need to fab up a new trans brace.

Not for the new ones... But I'll check tomorrow and see what I can get...

Yeah... The interesting part may be the drive shaft loop... We'll look at that some more tomorrow...it gets real crowded with the three inch exhaust pipes...

I would worry about the structural integrity of Robert's bunghole as he smashes down on the accelerator for the first time with that new setup! Especially if the horsepower happens to make it to the ground and the car hooks up! HA HA
