Been like three pages, where is the Sn-Car?

Lol


Also congrats on getting your concrete in and your trailer full of taken-a-part race (street) car

Can you be overly detailed with the wiring of said hangar? I recently bought a house with a decent garage but no electricity, so if possible. One more thing I can copy from you.. Lol

SN update comes after the new shop is done. A little suspense never hurt anyone

The electrical work will be done mostly by my brother and I will be his lacky. He is an electrician by trade and owes me quite a few favors... The electric service needs to be trenched from the house back 400' to the garage. There we will install a 150 amp panel and pull all the wire for the shop. I'll get some pictures of that process when we get there. I'm also upgrading the electric service that feeds my house to handle the extra load of the shop. It's a rather involved ordeal lol

You're doing it wrong, feed the house from the shop so you can steal electric from yourself

Seeing a shop get built is just as exciting as seeing a race car get built. Great progress man!

Thanks!
The pictures make it look like it goes up fast, nevermind the countless hours of work that go on behind the scenes. Hoping to be all done and moved in by the end of January

@84Ttop

Sorry if it's off topic, but can you remind me? Does the 84 have an 8.2 or 9.5 based engine in it? Or is that top secret?

Did you fab that elbow, or have it done and flowed, etc? I think that's something i can do, just not sure of importance of flow characteristics.

Edit: i have a buddy with a cnc plasma cutting table and a synchrowave i can use anytime i want.

I did not build the elbow, it was cheap enough to not bother wasting my time. When the intake was ported, the elbow was flowed with it at the same time. They had to pin a 1" spacer on the inlet to increase the short turn and do a little extra welding on the long radius of the elbow to get it just right. I'll try and remember the company I used for the elbow... bare with me

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. If you need a 4150 sideways elbow to a 105 mm TB let me know I have one sitting in the garage...lol
