Thanks guys. I won't be touching the body but i got some upgrades coming up. Maybe I'll start another thread.
Baahaahaahaa! It just keeps on going from there...I was chatting with a couple of the guys at the garage in town. One of them looked at me with an excited expression... "Oh, you paint cars! That's great, mine will be ready to shoot soon!"
Out with the old.
Installing Holley systemax, ignition box, 1 3/4" long tubes to 3" pro chamber and 3" cat back.

I have to take it home from the shop today.
Here's a picture of one of the fenders in the sun, I can't wait to see this effect on the body. It's been a loooooong haul to this point

Well, how did that thing get there? 
Just drove it back from the tuner.... I NEED to install the crane CD box as it is blowing the spark out over 3000 rpm.... I am not a dyno number whore and wanted a safe, decent tune and told him to just get me near 425rwhp which is more than enough. We ended up with 14 degrees of total timing and with 10# of booset making 421 rwhp and 416rwtq. I left the damn dyno sheet at his shop so I should have it tomorrow to post.

I'm surprised you're blowing spark out already. Mine didn't start doing that until it made over 550whp and even then it wasn't until over 5000rpm.
Congrats MikeWell, how did that thing get there?

What e fans are you running ? How's the pulley clearance ?

Thanks Jeff.. I really tried to keep the single Taurus E fan I was running as it was great, but I couldn't get enough clearance, so I sourced a dual fan from a chrysler 300 as it was available. I could have gone with a dual contour/taurus fan but this one pulls about the same cfm and it cleared the pulleys well. Excuse the crappy cell phone pic. On the way home in 85 degree weather the temp gauge was 185-195 with a 180 stat
The Fan fits perfect on the radiator

dont know what to tell you guys,, it was blowing out the spark pretty bad over 3000 rpm on the dyno. Hooked up an MSD box he had and it cleared it up. i've known my tuner for 25 years. He tunes Tony Alm and many other racers. I have the Crane Hi6 and coil that I was going to install this weekend anyway. as its the stock original coil.
