Looks awesome!!!

May I ask what happened to the blower? Did you upgrade or send the Whipple out for a rebuild or what?

Nothing happened to it. The inlet elbow is not removable so you have to take the blower off to remove the valve covers.

I am also switching to 80# injectors and getting ready to run E85 Ethanol.

Right at 600 RWHP now on 93 Octane. I hope to be closer to 630 or so with the E85 on the same boost with more timing.

I'm going to add a bunch more timing in the mid-range so it should wake the beast up for sure!

nice choice with coloring, and the "powered by ford" covers really set it all off. You have a nice touch for the set up of your car.

Well it looks absolutly spectacular my friend. It is hands down the best looking Terminator engine bay I have ever seen. Any more plans for it? It all looks so custom that I think one of those rad tanks also crinkle coated would look Mabey even a MM STB
But you have wonderful taste and did a great job. I like it more since I know you do all the work yourself. You have a very excellent ride, I just love it. I look at that engine bay and remember the countless hours I spent cleaning mine and it was not that clean. I mean hell, even the reinforcment plate for the booster is spotless.



EDIT: I see some dust behind the headlight pannel between the rad support.
