Ok so it's been a minute.... But glad to say I've made great progress....

Got all the wiring in and layed out, the instructions call to do it after the blower is on but this made more sense as I was able to zip tie it all up. Got the the Ford racing 56lb injectors installed and ready to mount on the blower.

Who uses shipping tape to seal the runners?! Spent a good hour cleaning all the glue off with goo gone. Seriously disappointed at Edelbrock for using shipping tape

Fuel injector rails installed loosely as per the instructions but truth be told it would have been easier after the fact. You literally have to remove them to get the bolts in for the supercharger.

And there she is.. not bad for a days work... Now the hard work begins..

No joke it took a lot of time and patience getting in all the bolts but in the end it all worked out. Now waiting on a 10mm swivel socket to get in there to torque the bolts down.

Now that all the bolts were started it was a waiting game now for the swivel socket from Amazon... In the mean time removed rear seats to prep for the fuel drain and VMP BAP

Back at it today, got the VMP Boost a pump installed, good unit fits perfectly behind the panel, wiring was all plug and play.

With a little help from a member I found out I can use my existing JLT catch can for my supercharger application. Worked out well.

Well I can say the build is finally complete. Just ran my final tune revision from Lund racing and the car runs amazing. I week after that I had her in Woodward putting the car through the paces and she didn't let me down.... Had a few good runs with my friends and was able to keep up nicely to a modified 2008 Shelby GT500 and C8 Corvette. All in all happy with the outcome.
