thats super nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i could only dream to build something that nice! looks darn good!!!:thumb:
Simon and I messed around for hours trying to get the right fit and we started out initially with two of those anodized blue tubes. In the end, what Trent has is what we came up with that fit best on Abby. It turned out pretty good and is much nicer than that spaghetti mess of rubber hoses that we don't use half of.
I'm actually surprised it isn't all green as well!!

Looks deadly Trent:cool2:
I think a 45* would work better than the straight on the fuel return from the head that goes into the junction block
OR maybe a 90* If you like I can throw one in the mail for you?
Also I see you had to 1up me with the braided going to the vally cp3...Very nice!!!
Looks like the kit worked out well:thumb: I really have grown to love the green

Thanks guys :hug: We still have to see if it holds up before we know if its impressive after all it is a "buget" build , it does have some bling factor though ! got the rest of the fuel system plumbed today !
:drool: Uh, WoW!
Trent that link for the place you got your fuel parts from (SIMONS CUSTOM)don't work is this the right name i can't even google anything. That fuel system you got looks clean I like it........

I doubt i will be able to hit Vegas before Phoenix , but it is looking like it will be done in time to dyno tune it and some street testing to dial in the 4link
, still hoping to have it done in a few weeks but have lots to do .

Did the CC test tonight , so far my best guess for the stock piston is 39-40 CC , had to measure a piston inside of a motor ( leveled/squared up ) so not super acurate but should be within 1-2 CC i think .
The bowl of my cut pistons measured in at 47-48 CC's so Johnboys math was pretty good
Cam and crank are getting cut wednesday so should be re-assembling this weekend , a big load of freshley powder coated parts should be here end of week also :coolspot:
bump
what piston coating('s) did you ever go with?
My pistons are being run bare , I will post up how they fair, pics and such when i pull the motor down this fall , so far so good but you never know with this kind of stuff .
