This shot gives you a good idea of the path through the "Plenum". A little bit different setup than an IPD plenum :).

This is a factory GT3RS 4.0 end tank. I have the part numbers somewhere if people are interested. This is important because the wall thickness on this is such that you won't have any issues, and the extra volume is useful.

GT3RS 4.0 end tank. A little extra volume, and good thickness to prevent Fast & Furious incidents.

This one is optioned for use with the factory style 82mm throttle body. You can also get it setup for larger GM throttle bodies.

These use two injectors per cylinder, utilizing a single fuel rail. This simplifies packaging, serviceability, and requires less overall complication in the fuel system.

Fitment was very good, only some minor accommodations were required with some of the lines.

This is where the upper and lower manifold connect. I attempted to use the fancy clamps but they were too wide for the rubber hose connectors. We ended up using factory Porsche clamps.

Here's the poor old girl at Cobb Plano. The guys there were very nice to me and can't thank them enough for taking good care of the car during the whole ordeal.

Of course nothing is ever as easy as you'd think it would be. The engine was about 2-3" too tall with everything on it so I had to take a bunch of stuff off the top to make it fit in the Yukon.

After finding the best angle and position for everything he tacked everything together then begin filling it in.

Since my original ID1300 injectors had been in the car for a while with E85 we decided to give them a quick flow check/cleaning. Of course Injector Dynamics HQ happens to have a bunch of toys for this.

I was a little concerned about throttle body positioning with this setup, being that it's a very non-standard combination of parts I had my doubts that an off the shelf Y-Pipe would fit.

Around this time the clutch showed up. After many months of waiting I finally decided to just go ahead and do the smart thing. Pucker up and buy a Tilton. Thanks to John Bray @ Evospec for this, and supplying the heavy flywheel option.

Yes, I went with the triple carbon clutch. It's all boring on the front, but business in the back. I wanted the heavy flywheel for ease of driving purposes. Light flywheels are great until you try to drive them to the grocery store.

The blow off valves also showed up. I must confess I really wanted purple ones, but Amber @ Forced Performance would NOT let me order them. Seriously, I tried. She knows what color my car is and flatly said you can't use purple on a red car. I think they look good in red too though.

Photo of the car/trailer at the hotel. From my room. I backed it up to the pole in an attempt to keep someone from trying to steal it since I couldn't lock it.

That front wheel not being straight really caused us a problem. We couldn't just back the car straight off the trailer because the wheel was turned slightly.

Steve procured some skates for the front wheels so we could get the car off the trailer and move it around. Success!
