You are a sexy man wifff some sexy car skills.
Made a few boost less (no IC piping) laps of the neighborhood last weekend!
Been thrashing like crazy to get this thing "done" enough to take to SDAC for some testing. Cobbled together a downpipe, ran a shorty exhaust with a muffler to pass SCCA tech, built a battery tray, did more wiring, built a hood vent that my son helped weld up, braced the hood, built intercooler piping, repurposed an old airbox as a crank case breather, mocked what may become the front air dam, quickly slammed vacuum system in, braced the fender/quarter flares, threw seats in it and tagged/insured it. Drove it around a bit only to find it's pissing oil from the top end somewhere. I have my fingers crossed it's coming from the exhaust cam seal...we'll find out this weekend. It also has a fuel delivery problem of some sort. If I can get it to stop leaking oil, I'll go after that next.
It's looking very cobbled together, but I don't care at this point. If I can get it all to work, it's going to SDAC.
Are you running the wiring for the lights across the front end? I like seeing that entire passenger side harness gone. On my P body I ran it through the front end, on my AA body I just trimmed out most of the wires.

I ran it across the front of the block, under the intake with the alt harness.
I want to clean it up further and get rid of the wastegate and purge solenoids and run resisters to avoid a CEL. They're currently mounted on the firewall next to the MAP/Baro due to time constraints.
Awesome work Pat! Can't wait to see it in person!
Checked a ton of the list this weekend, including the exhaust cam seal. Unfortunately, it's still leaking.
I may clean Shadow and just bring that to SDAC. The likelihood of the Rampage being ready at this point with my work and family schedule this week is getting close to zero.

The oil cooler on the passenger side engine bay, you have an electric fan underneath or will it use some sort of passive cooling via the hood, maybe? Looks great and gives me ideas for mounting one when I get to that point.
