I have all the records of my costs...I have stopped adding it up....You are correct, I don't really want to know right now...I have a good idea though...Cost is no longer the issue...Although I do watch how much I spend...I just want this project done soon, and more importantly, correctly...
I am in sales...I work on commission, and I earn every dollar I make...If you learn the right and ethical way to sell, the sky is the limit to what you can earn...

looks like the car is comming along well. will the exhaust be far back enough so it will sit nicely when the 97 rear bumper is on? i like the look of those tips. 
when is the fire date?

Wow, that exhuast looks good, Im stumped on why you are using the stock maf sensor? I mean you're going all out and not use an ems? If you use an ems you can use a Map sensor, like a 5 bar map that goes along with an aem ems.

Driveability is extremely important to me...This car is to be my daily driver...So, Cold start, engine idle, throttle up and throttle down are all very important to me. I wanted to maintain the smoothness of the original Lexus ride, and yet add the beastiness of the Twin Turbo power...So, I am using a Piggy Back set up. The stock ECU runs when I am not in boost. Remember, 16 injectors...The secondary fuel system will be controlled by the piggy back, and will initiate based first upon engine load. The piggy back uses an external MAP sensor. Best of both worlds....

Completion of this project in Stage I!?
Gang, today is the last day of the month...always a very busy day for a salesman like me.....I did not have time to hardly even speak with Frank today...at least not until the end of the day...approximately 6 pm on the phone.
Frank informed me that my Optima Red top was screwed...not only dead, but unable to hold a charge...So, he hooked up one of his to "prime" the engine, the pumps, and make sure everything electrical was functioning properly...It was...No issues seen.
Car starts tomorrow. I will be there for that with my camcorder...
There are still some add ons I am doing on Stage I, but it is done. The exhausts are finished, and Frank promised pics to me tonight so I can post them up tonight...And not too late...
It is all coming together.....
