Yeap, finally got my KA-T up and running after 8 months of total down time. All I need right now is for my BOV to get here and to tune it, other then that it's done.

Here's what I'm running right now...T3/T4OE 50 trim .63 AR stage III wheelSpearco 17x6x3 IC370cc SR injectorsApex-i SAFCII35mm Tial Wastegate (6psi spring)JGS manifoldRemoved seconday butterfly and EGRSPEC stage 3 clutchFidanza Flywheel

Hopefully I will be able to use my parents digital camera and take some pictures tomorrow.

Until I get my MSD, which probably won't be until the summer, I'm just going to retard the timing a few degrees.

But here are some pics......

Heh. Long story, but basically it boils down to me being a lazy bum.

I did it all myself. I used 3 90 degree bends, 2 180 degree bends, and 2 45 degree bends. Then just cut them to the length I needed them at and such.
