I finally got 'Project M' done! I installed Trilogy #238, painted my calipers and cam covers, added SS brake lines, did the rear cylinder cooling mod (from MuscleMerc), and did the upgraded fuel filter mod (also MuscleMerc). I also took the idea from Seige to feed the heater core from the rear cooling mod and deleted the hose that wrapped around the passenger side manifold. I used a 3.2" billet blower pulley and the quick change hub pulley (stock size.....for now) from metco. I haven't gotten a custom tune yet so Lidio said to run the stock air box with the smaller pulley but I have the JLT CAI and a SCT 2600 MAF to go on when I do. And custom painted coil covers (from my lovely girlfriend). :beer:

Nice look! I like everything except the cop covers. Cool design with the skull and pistons, but, I don't like the blue mercury waves. Maybe get rid of those and do a PC clear over the skull? JMO! :D

Love the stainless lines and blue wire looms.

After I got done mine I thought with all the hoses, I thought I shoulda done that. But what would I have to do next spring, eh? ;)

You may be able to get by with the CAI because the Trilogy lower is already a +1 if I remember correctly. 7 5/8"?? If true, you will already be a pound or so low on boost. Also if you haven't yet purchased an AFR wideband DO SO.

Did you give the FRPS a boosted reference?

The SS covers were a huge pain, and the fancy hose clamps were even worse! but in the end I like the look. If you decide to do it send me a PM for details.

Sorry, I'm new to the world of awesomeness. FRPS..is that fuel rail presser sensor? I'm not sure what you mean?

I don't have a AFR wideband yet... I wanted to go with dual aeroforce gauges... can I get AFR wideband with them at all?


Nice!

Not a fan of the blue wire loom either. Maybe if it was a darker blue.

Thanks everybody! It took me almost 3 months to finish, but I did a few extra things and did a lot of painting too. I was picking up a ton of overtime at work so I really only worked on it before after work, but still a lot of hours for me.

Hehehe, I get where everybody is coming from on the looms! I think it looks better in person (darker would be better but couldn't find) also I think it will look better when it is all done, I am going for a black & blue theme. I still have the blue JLT cai to go on and some blue accents on my brushed aluminum caps and door sills...and maybe some blue ghost stripes or something like that someday. One thing is for sure, I'm not messing with those looms again for a very long time!
