Tom (9sec9) will chime in as this goes with more details. For now I want to thank all who have been involved before we got the car here to do the final work.

Forced Performance, camshafts and turbochargers for the car.

Indy EVO, air box, radiator, intake manifold. (Air box design was a concept of Tom's actually, executed by Indy and Schumacher Racing)

Keith Wilson, intake manifold.

Tom showed up here on Monday and Daniel (my brother/service department owner) got started right away on pulling the engine. The shortblock looked goreous but we found 3 cylinders with valves that were leaking. The head only required a quick valve job to have it back to 100%.

The longblock was set back into the car Tuesday morning and then came the process of starting to get all the parts to work and fit together.

The radiator was built by C&R and designed by Indy EVO. The radiator is a dual pass radiator with AN fittings quick disconnects. It's a work of art. The only part left was to build a mount to hold it in the car. I was able to do that using the existing top pins and a single dzus fastener.

The air box is a work of art too. Designed to grab the air from the front of the car and ram it into the air filter. This part was done and mounted, also using a single dzus from Indy. All I had to do was build the inlet pipe that ran from the air box to the turbocharger. Trent did the welding and it fits like a glove.

Next up was to get the water pump mounted. At first I was ready to start throwing things out the door. Then Tom decided to kick me in the balls and when I hit the floor I saw where the pump needed to go;) I built a bracket to mount the pump from the bottom of the ACD pump. It actually couldn't have come out any better.

We are waiting on the Indy Intake manifold to come in from Wilson tomorrow morning and then I believe we have everything we need to finish up the car and start it.

This time around the car will be tuned using the AEM EMS.

Quite a few changes and quite a few parts to test and run.

This should make for some very interesting results.

The design of the radiator and air box are just freaking gorgeous, great job on those parts Indy EVO!

Enjoy the pictures. We will update this as the build comes together further.
