I definitely understand when you say once it gets close, more things come up too haha. They just keep coming and coming .
Yeah, its painful but what can we do. Sometimes it just seems that our project is the one left in the back burner.

Are you planning to get the ProEFI FlexFuel? It would definitely make running E85 a much better option for anyone that drives their car more.

^ Strange can't get the video to work in this thread. I used the embedded shockwave format like I do on other threads but nothing pops up.

Gabe!!! Your engine sounds mean as hell!!! It looks like you have the Rebello Double Bubble plenum on there, looks similar to the Carbotron design in another thread.

Those tubular headers look weird, and it looks like they are flopping around just a little as the engine is revving up... I know those are going on your car.

You are not missing too much yet since it's only one the dyno.

Thanks! I think it sounds mean mainly because it has nothing pass the Y pipe, haha.

That tubular thing moving around is actually the little rubber hose connected underneath the intake tube not the headers.

Yeah I do but only on the engine dyno. I won't release those until I have all of the paperwork in front of me.

Is that the new fangled intake manifold? I thought the original version was CF? Yours looks like it's welded aluminum

It's a plenum that Rebello designed a few years ago for his VQ race engines.

Is the custom intake flowing better than the Cosworth?

I'm actually doing some testing on a few combination of parts (intake/headers) and the results that come out should be very informative. Just hold tight and I'll let everyone know in a few months (hopefully less).

Gabe, great initiative on testing different combos. Very excited to see details here.

take your time with everything, don't let these jackals make you feel rushed.
