Fellas: I just had to post up about the rails and injectors I got from WolfKatz...The pics I posted up were emailed from Garrett to me, so I had not yet seen them in person until I opened the box today...All I can say is WOW!! The pics do not do the rails justice. These rails are simply gorgeous in person. They are going to look awesome on my car, simply awe inspiring!! I know I am a little excited, but these bad boys are something else.
Garrett, phenomenal work!! This man takes pride in what he does...

Hello Fellas, I planned to do some wrenching on the SC today, but did not get too much done due to the need to change out the drivers side door on the Honda after getting side swiped by a Semi truck. So, Scott KISoarer come over to wrench with me, but we spent thee time on the door. Good thing is the Honda is back in good shape, used door (same color) in place, used mirror in place, swapped out the glass, and all other parts needed to complete the task.
I did do a mock fit of the rails and the upper intake, so I thought I would post them up for you to see. They look Badass...I also am posting pics up of the new Delphi injectors, 84 lbs. They are much bigger than stock, and the pintile design is far superior to stock as well. The clips for the injectors were already installed by Dr. Tweak of Phoenix Tuning, so these are now Plu-n-Play baby... The injectors are more than enough to get to my power goals, and they are still very tunable for a solid idle as well...Almost there...
8 new Injectors fro WolfKatz:

I just read 69 pages of posts in one sitting about a project that has spanned over three years. Frankly, I am a little pissed there has not been a dyno in three years, nor is the project even finished.
However, please do not take offense to my anger issues. This is YOUR project, and you should not care what someone with no social or monetary investment thinks.
I know you are going all out on this project and I am 1000% impressed with what you have so far. Stuff like this makes me want to put my life on hold and pour a bunch of money I should be saving into something like this, but alas... it's life. I wish I had the know-how to do something like this right now; especially with this car.
You are an inspiration to V8'ers, and although this project is somewhat unrealistic to replicate (who has a unlimited checkbook?), it is flat-out awesome. My apologies if anything in this post sounded negative! It's 5 AM, and I'm ready to get a few hours of sleep before work.

Well fellas, we just completed a marathon session of wrenching on the engine...Worked all night on it, qand am going to get some shut eye for now...It is basically done. Got all the wires separated on the loom and recovered them in black flexible loom tubing, then taped over them with high temp electrical tape. We assembled the front of the motor, and installed all the accessories. Need to regap the plugs and install the plug wires and covers. A few moe cosmetic things to complete as well. The rails are installed as well as the injectors, and it does look hot!! Still need to connect the SS braided hose and the fuel system, but made fantastic progress.
Pics to come,
Ryan
