    I have had this up and running since the end of May. Best 1/4 mile so far was a 13.69 @ 98 mph with a 1.85 60'. This was done in 90+ degree heat so low 13s should be no problem in the cooler weather. Not bad for a 4800 pound brick.

    Stock 4.6 running 9 psi. Turbo is a Precision 61mm with a .68 A/R exhaust right now. I have a .81 housing that I will be trying out very soon. I'm running methanol injection until I get my air-to-water setup done.

    It has 39lb Cobra injectors along with a 310 lph fuel pump. The MAF is a 3" blow thru from PMAS and I'm tuning it with the SCT Pro Racer package.

    Here are some pics of the build.

    Here is the first shakedown pass...... I got out of it around 1000 foot mark and coasted to a 13.93 @ 84 mph

    Very nice. This looks almost like the set-up I have with a 01 exploder sport.

    I assume you didn't have any problems with the pump higher than the turbo? I couldn't get that to work for me; had to lower the pump.
