On the works?

No.

The tune is a sealed deal. Just have to get the money for it and have it written and then we are golden.



Got your email btw, forwarded to the God.

ok so here's a update:

my muffler arrived, this is being installed once the build is over, as i dont have the welder @my place anymore...

yes i went obx, a muffler is a muffler to me, and i have had good luck with them in the past

and i did some pre wiring for the pump today

wired the ground in, and the pwr is left open for now, made sure to leave enough slack in wires to reach anywhere in the bay, the wires, are twisted together, soder'd, shrink wrapped, and than wrapped in electrical tape

yeah the intake was a super tight fit with the vulcan resevoir there, man was it a bitch to get that intake threw, took me 5 whole mins of fails before i got it right, i know it goes thru the bottom i istalled the injen one in hazas car, just with the vulcan tank there, its a bit harder to get **** thru, its a near perfect fit, the tank touches the intake
