How did you route the MAF sensor wire to the passenger side of the car? Looks clean to do it that way if you relocate the battery.

Unwrap the entire harness to the intake manifold. Isolate the MAF wires. Rewrap the entire harness without the MAF wires.

Done.

I've been working on getting this KA put together. I used some ARP head studs and a new felpro head gasket. It's all timed and everything just need to get the front covers back on. I got anxious though and wanted to see how my supercharger fit and check out the pulley alignement. I am pretty stoked about it. It will all be spotless on the final install dont worry...

This is going to be hott. I want pics of the painted intake mani and maybe tiger stripe or graffiti covers.

Like this

From the pics it looks like the filter isnt going to fit. Maybe you should look into this.

It would make for a pretty nice oil cooler install as well. Would add quite a bit to the cost of the project though.

What else do you need to do for the supercharger to be functioning? We should spray NOS!!!!! on your current motor with the supercharger.

Update time.

Grantspec's interior is flossin. Yesterday he redid all his botched radio wiring installed a cd player. Ran speaker wire to each individual speaker from the head unit. Put new carpet in (thanks slopok (I think)) and made a custom gauge holder for the a/c vent out of a sheet of 1/8 inch aluminum, sanded and polished it. Electric fans are now on a switched 12 volt so they wont come on when the ignition is off. I think that is all, Grant can come in and fill ya'll in on anything else.

Interior looks great. Need a steering wheel to set it off.




Why would they still run the intake pipe in fornt of the radiator?

These are better ideas.

Hard to see.

Or


No more throttle body behind the shock tower.

That intercooler setup is interesting.

Grant, how about posting those pics you sent me of the gauge bezel you made. Came out real nice.

Oh and grant beat a 500hp stang out at the autox this weekend by a solid 3 sec.

Nice driving boss. I did notice that the gauge on the left wasnt moving much during your run though. :D

Nice! How much camber are you running in the rear? Also you ran in STS class?
