Blower shipped yesterday. Hoping to have it tomorrow, if not Monday. Innovators west 6 rib crank pulley shipped. Racetronix harness for boost a pump shipped. Only thing I should be waiting on is the cam. Should ship early next week.

On a side note my 2012 Mustang GT gets built today and should be on the way tomorrow. I wonder if I'll have the mustang before the z06 runs again.

Uh Oh... that's gonna be a problem. Even though it's a 6-rib, it's got just as much meat and sticks out just as far as the 8-rib balancer. With the 6-rib setup, the balancer will interfere with our bracket. One option is go with our whole 8-rib setup, or a combo of the 8-rib setup and a flip drive, or go with another brand of balancer, or stick with the stock balancer.

All good. Innovators hadn't shipped the pulley yet so they are just swapping it for an 8-rib on and I'm upgrading to the full 8-rib from A&A. I'll just have to mail the 6 rib stuff back. Thanks Steve for catching that before it became a more costly mistake.

A&A kit is in the trunk of my car. I can say they do a pro job on the packaging. I can't wait to lay it all out on the floor and drool over all the shiney parts.

Nice! I'll be installing my V-3 Si in the next couple of weeks (head work first). Can't wait to see your results!

Hello,

I am also considering the A&A kit. I am wondering why people are not getting the "T" trim for another $200 It gives you the capability of another 100HP when you are ready and I heard it gives you a much harder hit. Opinions are appretiated.

Ask A&A. I tried to upgrade but Andy said the Si-trim is much better for anything under 700rwhp. You'll give up a lot of low end with the T-trim unless you plan on making over 700hp. I trust him as he has installed/dynoed/tuned more than anyone else so if he says stick with the Si, I'll stick with it.

Worked on it for a few hours this morning before it got too hot. Just got to take out the rack then I'm ready to do the cam part once the cam shows up.

Debating on pulling the heads to get the guides replaced since I'm this far in. WCCH lead time is way long and still waiting to hear back from AI.

Current garage status.

You are a brave man.

That looks like a ton of work.
