that was partially accidental actually. originally i was going to reroute the oil cooler to the front pass side of the intercooler, then decided against it but had already cutout the guts/fins in the front grill of the bumper then had to cut open the pass side reflector alot just to get the bumper to fit on without hitting the oil cooler. came out better then expected.

What the hell is taking you so long to drive a measly 750 miles!! Get on the ball already damnitt!! ... It's really pretty simple... Jump on the 75 and drive to Macon Ga and back... That's what, 600ish miles right there!

haha 750 city miles for the heat cycles i guess. im sure i could be atleast 5-600 down if i was that eager. but honestly after doing all the work myself every time i drive it and nothing breaks feels like an acheivment haha so im really not in a rush. plus i have been speaking with charles at cjm to get me just the items i need left for the CJM stage 2 return. once that gets here and i hit 750 i will have to install injectors walbro 400 and return system. then its time to trailer to Z1. hopefully by the end of the month it will be close!

about 200 miles left in break in and after alot of help from charles from CJM he pieced together what i needed to complete a cjm stage 2 kit from what parts i already had! great guy great service and quick shipping btw!



so this completes the new fuel system to go in to include a walbro 400 DW1000s and now a cjm stage 2 :-) 1 step closer. once i hit the 750 miles all this will go in. thanks again to everyones help along the way
