You have a great list of products and I really want to see how it all turns out. You get back in March you said? You are about a month ahead of me......
I will definitely be posting (whoring) pics/vids of the build and dyno numbers. I'm only going home in March for about 2.5 weeks. Enough time to drop off the Z, look for a house in San Antonio, and HOPEFULLY enjoy a cruise with the kit. I just signed an extension on my contract till 01-Aug-08. So I have some more time in Kuwait left. Oh well, I did this to 1) Help get out of debt (Completed) 2) Knock out this TT build (paid with cash).
Just need to pick at the audio/video build and a kit and she'll be done. Probably not, but I'll be happy with it.

The worst part is that you'll still be a big bag of *** before, during and after you're in the marines, thereby making us all look bad.

Sorry to dump on your thread. I'm really envious of the place you've put yourself in financially to be able to do this with your resources.
San Antonio isn't a bad place to be.

Where do you get the thermostat sandwich adapter? Rather then have it run through all the time.

www.racerpartswholesale.com You are looking for the SP1FT It is dual 3/8" NPT female outlets, however, so you need to ensure you have the right adapters for your oil cooler. Stillen, for example, uses -8 AN, so you need 3/8" male to -8 AN male adapters
Edit: Sorry, that was 1/2" connections, not 3/8"
