    He car is running great but still some tuning left to do. As far as the leak goes the connection I had from the big port behind to blower to the drive side valve cover vent wasn't properly sealed( loud hissing) almost seemed like the engine was sucking the life out itself, so I capped the large port and moved the line that's going to the brake booster to the nipple on the tb elbow and the vapor hose to the upper port behind the blower

    It was VERY hard to resist and I failed. Lol thankfully nothing went wrong. Helped address diagnosed some issues I was having. Since then All issues have been corrected. Awaiting a few more add-ons so we can start the final tuning process. Looking forward to getting the green light.

    Was that really "hammered" or just a quick take off?

    Car ran very strong and pulled hard. Like to see how the car runs after Marty's fine tuning
