Looks very nice. Not a fan of the Coyote thing but everything else is immaculate.

Did you add springs, valves, seals and head studs this time around? Still the factory short block?

Yup! New valve seals, Pac123X springs,ARP headstuds, GT500 head gaskets, ARP cam cap bolts and phaser retaining bolts.

like the only picture I took when I pulled the motor apart lol

Factory pistons with new rings and regapped? Can you post a startup video when you light it off?

Heck of a "why not while we're in there"!

Gorgeous build, would be interesting to see how it compares to your previous setup.

Thanks!

The blower was fun don’t get me wrong. But the twin kit dialed in is 10x more fun. The car is still only on wastegate (8 lbs) and is a blast. Still need to hook up the on board air for the boost controller and wire up the conversion box so I have boost by MPH of front wheel speed

Where did you get this filler neck?

Factory with a -16 bung welded on it. Pulled the factory nipple off and tapped it 1/8npt

You went full on... great write up. I had an on3 twin kit on my 2014 and while it was a bear to install, once finally done the car ran like a scalded ape.

Bad ass and congrats

You're about 45 minutes from me. That is a beautiful car. She's going to scoot, too.

Boost by wheel speed sounds cool, assume you are boosting by gear too?

What are the other noteworthy features of your controller/turbo system?

What power are you projecting to make dialed in?

In what ways did you find it so much better than an already awesome supercharger?
