Thanks man!

This car should be a lot of fun. Trying to get the parts right all in the first shot...I'm sure I'll have to change things here and there but so far I think it's all gonna make for a great combo.

Doubled up on a radiator pic...was supposed to be this



I also received the full blown fuel components, 485 pump and return fuel system...all loose pieces so I didn't bother with pics

Nah....Texas speed 418 LS3...started out as their 630hp turn key package but since I'm planning to run a Motec setup I dropped the electronics and wire harness and cranked up the motor a bit.

With the changes I asked for and Texas Speeds recommendations, I hope it will end up closer to 650-700hp but after fitting it into the BRZ, intake, exhaust and other packaging issues, I expect it to be somewhere in the 500-550 rwhp range...putting my trust in Texas speed as to the actual power it makes.
