Bad ***. Can u give more details on how u attached your amp rack to the frame? I have some big amps I need to mount and want to make sure they won't become projectiles in an accident.

I drilled and installed nutzerts into the frame rails ( through the tub), the amp rack has 1/8" aluminum strips epoxied to the bottom with basically steel well nuts, epoxied to prevent turning. So the rack bolts to the frame mounted nutzerts from the top, then the amps bolt to the reinforced nuts clamped by the rack and aluminum braces. No pics but I hope you get the idea.

Using the turbosmart eboost street controller I was having problems making over 12#'s of boost and holding that level using a single solenoid single port twin wastegate setup. I converted to a dual solenoid single port dual wastegate setup and holy F$!k boost rolls in quick now with no drop off to 14#'s at 6800rpms. Hopefully next weekend I can crank it up to 18 #'s and throw in some 112VP or C16 to and finish tuning. Just bought a billet tech alternator from Bret also. Then May 2-3 is the Hot Rod magazine top speed shootout/standing mile.

New Billet Tech alternator is installed and working well, other than starting issues with alternator output. I had to make a top clamp to better secure the amps in case of a roll-over (rules are strict for ECTA/SCTA) for the Top Speed shootout, so out came the cutoff wheel and welder.

My cars not immaculate, because I use it like it's suppose to be used and enjoyed.

New Billet Tech 170A alt



New Amplifiers top clamp, rollcage mounted

3.5" to 4" flex at throttle body and just a 3.5" flex at the intercooler. I'll look for the exact parts and vendor tomorrow after work.

4" to 3.5" reducing hump hose and 3.5" hump hose. I'm 99% sure the 4 " to 3.5" is correct size, but I'm 800 miles from the car currently.
