Cut holes and run lines
Mount the front mez pump (and find out if it runs all the time)
Mount rear pump in tank
Bleed the cooling system
Mount the air bid and painted parts
Limp car home

Send Jerry ECU for a box tune until Tfest
And miss out on spring drag racing (unless Jerry is confident it won't blow up on a box tune)
Go to timmay fest and run 14s bc it will be hotter than crap

I see what ou are saying. It's not perfect, but it's damn close. The insure lighting kills it. Wait til I get it outside... Plus the car has about an inch of dust on it...

Running the hose was a nightmare. It's too big and thick (insert joke here) to do anything with. Plus it's easy to kink. I went right above the wheel well into the fender and down. You can get it to work but it's not a walk in the park.
