These guys are mad geniuses and very clean and precise at what they do as well. I'm a bit impatient and it's taken a lot longer than I thought but the end result will be fantastic, reliable, and done right.

How's the tuning coming? A little warm today but at least you'll get realistic numbers. Nothing like tuning in the winter and wondering where the power went in the summer.

Not even sure if they were tuning or not today, they ran into some fuel issues that hopefully was an easy fix. That was 6 hours ago. I'm trying not to blow up their phones though. It's hard haha.

^Exactly

A little bit of an update. We got an aftermarket trigger wheel on the car but it wasn't properly trued and balanced. So that should be finished tomorrow with possible dyno time.

Guesstimating Tuesday completion if everything from here out works right.

The car was running though, just that trigger wheel needs to be fixed.

We have been working 6-7 days a week on this project, unfortunately doing something different that hasn't been done always has things that can arise, but we are looking foward to watching Houston smile ear to eat when he lights the street up with some fresh rubber lines. Thanks for the patience and understanding Houston.

The smiles will definitely be massive. Thanks for you guys' hard work. Looking forward to the cleanest and most perfect setup so far compared to any other setup seen yet.

My favorite part is the turbo placement. Any passenger that rides with me will need to deal with the wastegate
