The pictures show the test fit of the new aluminum half inch SR lid casting with the embedded C4 emblem. It will now be finessed, smoothed, and black wrinkle coated.
A new airbox for the blower will also be fabricated, it will be similar to the intercooler used on a Callaway twin turbo.
Keep an eye on this site for updates, things are moving fast at this point.
She should be on the rollers at BackStreet Performance in a week or two, I cannot wait to see the rear wheel number it is going to pull. The plan is to have her back in a month.
Here are a couple teaser pictures showing the brushed aluminum and the wrinkle coat on the intake, runners, and SuperRam. Not the best of pictures, but it will give you a better idea of what I'm talking about.
The black texture finish on the SR, intake, runners, tubes, alternator, etc. look awesome. Eleo has perfected the application.
The aluminum shroud was made for the Griffin radiator. In front of it, another shroud will be fabricated to eliminate all of the plastic pieces.
This is the modified fuel rail. The rear fuel pressure regulator was eliminated, and a -10AN fitting was welded to the front. Eleo did an amazing job on this!!!!!
The long tube headers are off the car and being modified; the AIR tubes were cut off and the opennings welded smooth, now they are ready to be recoated with a ceramic coating.

This is the BigStuff3 John Meaney pulled together for us, this thing is a work of art. Thanks Sean and Mark -- you gearheads are awesome!
For better control of the 500 lb./hr. Aeromotive fuel pump, an Aeromotive #16302 Billet Fuel Pump Speed Controller was installed under the car next to the Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump.
This unit will vary the voltage to the pump based on engine RPM.
The battery from the stock location was removed, and an Optima Red-Top battery was installed between the Kicker L10 subs.
Where the factory battery was, a rack was fabricated for the MSD6AL, MSD Boost Control unit, and the BigStuff3.
If ever there is a problem with the MSD units or the BS3, any of the units can be pulled in a modular fashion.
The quarter inch, tig welded dash was outfitted with Autometer Phantom gauges.
The ZANIO wax process make the paint look a mile deep. It cost a litle, and it quite a bit of work to do, but it is worth it!
It takes a lot of fuel to feed this monster. At last check, she was getting around 3 MPG since I run it ultra rich (and it is hard not to get on it…). Not a great car for a long road trip. The fuel mileage should improve with the new BS3 computer.
The factory gas tank is sumped, and the main fuel feed line is a -10AN stainless steel braid line. Yep, that is the same size as a garden hose. The Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump, checkvalve, and 10 micron fuel filter are a tight fit – but this is the only possible location for them, In the above photos you can also see the remote transmission cooler located under the rear fascia.
