Yeah mate working excellent. I'm more then happy with it so far.

Let the Mrs race it yesterday and she managed two 8.75s 8.80 8.83. So she is faster then me now lol.

Only change from last time was a basic exhaust mod and a small change to the VE table.

There's still a little more I can do to the VE table but one step at a time lol.

Standard throttlebody bored out to 70mm. I wasn't running the iac and when I put the torquepower manifold and elbow on, I had to modify the throttlebody a lot to get bonnet clearance and thermostat housing clearance.

Its an Edelbrock elbow mainly made for LS style throttlebodies. I had to make up my own adapter to be able to bolt the 70mm on.

Was a complete PITA to be honest and if I had the choice again I would definately do it differently if at all lol.

95% of the way there. Few little curve balls to sort out and hopefully driving in the next couple of days.

Been flat out the last couple of weeks with my 5 day job and my weekend DJing but slowly getting stuff sorted.

Because the MRs is going to be driving-racing it I purchased the correct brake booster and master cylinder from Race Brakes in Sydney to match the VT calipers and discs and it all fits nicely, just need to make a proper bracket fir the mastercylinder.
A set of Deka 60 pound injectors.
ICE 4100 coil.
Drilled into the sump for the return line to stop oil leaking out of the modified dip stick.
Oil catch can that I still have to fit up.
Modified the ecu and have my wide band now running for proper datalogging
A heap of other stuff I have forgotten or not worth mentioning lol.

Finally got about a 20 minute drive late sunday afternoon and overall ran well. The couple of full throttle runs through 3rd was hitting 11psi. And hit of the throttle in 2nd gear smoked the tyres.

Still got a few things to sort but definately heading in the right direction.
Seem to have the injector flow rate and voltage settings pretty close so its mainly just the fine tuning now !!
