Looks great, a little advise...if you are installing a boost guage now is the time to do it. You have to separate the fuel rail on the drivers side to access the bung on the lower manifold. I did it after the install and just makes for a smelly garage with fuel coming out of the rail while tapping into that bung on the drivers side.

Thanks for the advise. Got a boost and air/fuel gauges on the way. Should be here in a few days. Was wondering where the boost gauge tapped into.

We also use the vacumm system to fill the rad and exchanger. Makes it very fast to fill.

You can always lower the front cradle a little to give the sc more room to slide in

Hopefully in the high five hundreds. Totally going to rely on Ted Jannetty for the tune and I don't have any worries about that. There is no one remotely close for me to put it on a Dyno, so it will be whatever his estimate is.

I'm sure his estimation will be -- "enough power to have traction issues" - great build.. Can't wait to see it when its finished...

Installed the new belt tensioner. Pretty straight forward.

New belt installed.

Okay this is where things got confusing. The instructions say to set up the tension for the belts line up the two marks on the housing of the tensioner. There aren't two marks anywhere as you can see. Found some pics on the fourm that clearly show the marks. There is though one mark as you can see in my picture but no reference to line it up (Kinda blurry). Now I'm thinking that this mark should be positioned so its in the area where the spring end is. If I'm correct, that's cool. If not, do I have a bum tensioner. Has anyone else got this style....if that's what it is. Or any ideas. If not I will have to get hold of whipple for the low down. If they did make a change they should point this out in the instructions.

I think that's the new 10 rib tensioner so there might not be any marks on it. Mine came with the 6 rib that has the marks on it. Wish I had the 10 rib...
