Today's update:

"Hey John,

All systems are finally finished being built! The ones finished over the past few days will be going to coating on Monday. Yours and another have been picked up and are being packed and will be ready to ship Monday evening. I spent all weekend burning the midnight oil, trying to get everything finished, but wasn't able to get them all packaged up. If you could pass this on to everyone on the forum, I'd appreciate it! BTW, hows the Buick coming along?

Cheers,

Chris"

Wooo hoooooooooooooooooo!

The plastidip was definitely the way to go on the grille - I'd tried multiple other finishes with no luck. The only negative is if I wash the vehicle with a soft stringed pad the cotton will catch on the slightly rough finish.

NO CHIPPING! Wooo hooooooo!

From Chris to me on 6/8:

Well actually your set is done and sitting in the office! But I won't be able to install them for about 2 weeks. If you want to come get them or leave them here until we install them , its fine either way...

Thanks for your patients!

Chris

So if I was the last in line, all yours are done!

Did you buy the full system or just the longtubes?

I bought the full system and haven't heard anything yet. There may be a tracking number in my other email, though. I need to check...

I did not get the full set - just the longtubes.

Talked to the guys at BI Performance...gonna do the install with them. Longtubes, heat exchanger, new bosch pump, tune (Jerry...waiting on the remote cable), 180 pulley. Should be a pretty nice package.



Oh...and I might as well have them do my lowering links as well.

Good choice. Should be night and day difference. Next up will be Bruce's fuel kit and the 82mm for a full stage three monster?

Fuel kit is a definite consideration... Gotta get those rails to keep it flowing back to #8...

Just heard from a little birdy, that all systems should be back from coating and shipped this week.

Craig - car is over there now. :-) I was in Myrtle this weekend for a wedding...off to Chicago today...car will be done when I get back and then we just need to get the tune on it.

Really pleased with the finished product Chris put together. So were the BI guys.

Took the car in stock...now it'll have:

-Floored Fab L/T's
-Eurocharged 180MM
-Eurocharged H/E
-New Bosch 0 392 022 010 pump
-K&N Filtercharger
-JerryTune
-Primaries removed

They're also putting on my lowering links.

I've yet to decide what to do about getting some nasty volume out of it (electronic cutout...).


That should be good for about 500 or so at the wheels I hope. Sucks that they have a heartbreaker dyno.

Yes, their dyno is the heart breaker but it can convert to dynojet numbers if you want after all is said and done. I believe it is the dynapack dyno which is a load bearing dyno. You should be very close too 500rwhp, even on a dynapack dyno. I believe that is what Jerry and the boys have too in Texas. Most accurate dyno there is when everything is set correctly.

I am having electric cutouts 3" from the header collector so when I open it up, it will be like running open headers, loll. You should have them change you to one step colder plugs, I did on mine, just for insurance.

Once it is done, we will all have to head up to Commerce for some slips

This is what Chris wrote last night for those of you still waiting.

"
Hey Craig,

The remaining systems, including yours, are being packaged and shipped out through out the remainder of the week. Thank you for yor patients and I will forward the tracking info to you when it ships.

Thank you,

Chris"
