    Thanks guys! I just really like how clean it makes things to use factory components.

    I made them, I did a crack pipe (cobra tubes) cooling mod, then used all sorts of preformed hoses to make up the bends that I needed to make heater hoses.

    FYI if you do not have a sunroof there is a prewired empty fuse and relay spot in the BJB that is hot key-on, perfect for the IC pump. Just repin the one output that would go to the sunroof if it was equipped.
    I eat apples until my stomach feels much more full than its normal.

    No worries. I understand! Zack was my savior during my swap when you get down to the end and just need help with the small stuff. It was great talking with you and congratulations!

    Dyno guy cancelled...Lidio is 3 weeks out... Gave Marty a call, we are working on it remotely. If I was not so technologically challenged we'd have been done two days ago! So far Marty, by far has gone above and beyond for me. I know most of us here already have heard a good story about his service, but seriously... I own a shop, I am a tech, I feel a pretty good one too. I am NOT however, a techy type guy. I can swap engines, fabricate parts, and I can wire things with the best of em...but my computer (laptop, desktop, smart phone, interwebs) knowledge SUX!~ Marty has been a god send for me. Walking me through the process. I truly want to thank him, from one shop owner to another. He could easily have blown me off due to being in the same business but instead embraced the chance to work with me. Thanks again to Marty and Mo's Speed Shop for all of the help, true car guys right here.

    Results to come in the next few days! I will be dynoing it eventually just to get a number.

    It is our pleasure Chris!

    There is a light at the end of the tunnel. At least for now it does not seem to be on the front end of a freight train!

    The number does not really concern me, just want to know. All I care about is that it runs correctly.

    after dyno tuning another car, I thought it was great and went to the track.
    He tweaked the tune, pulling timing and fuel (thereby dyno power number), but it ran so much better my ET improved, and the car street drove way, way better.
    Street tune all the way.
    dyno is a baseline.

    Keep going remote with Marty, you'll be
    when you're done!

I can't understand why everyone cuts and splices the power feed for the pump when they could just put an eyelet on the relay's power feed and then bolt it to the fuse block where the main power comes into it....

    Funny I wanted to do this exact same thing for my fuel pumps
