ok guys well its been a long time in the making just over a year now but here is footage from throughout the long process. this footage was from some time ago, the car's interior is back in now and we are heading to the dyno the second week of may since im not done with this semester of college till then. Max's Automotive is our family business that we are building on our 5th year now. we dont do much work since we have recently relocated to the east coast after living in Utah until 5 years ago. my brother Josh is the one who filmed the video, he is a recent graduate from Kettering University in mechanical engineering and is now working for GM. the car is only running 11psi in the video, it has major traction issues with only this amount of boost along with 55mph speed limit roads making it very difficult to tune the car using the AEM logging software, we plan on raising the boost up to about 20 psi on pump gas. we are also planning to creat a calibration for the use of E85 which will allow us to run a little more boost and make a significant more amount of power by simply switching fuel. i will post new video soon when we take the car to the dyno in a few weeks.

If you run E85, you will trash all the plastic/rubber fuel lines in your car and you will destroy the head as well if your valve seats aren't hardened.
You've been warned.

obviously i would take all of this into consideration when i do run E85, i understand what all has to be done in order to run the fuel....
have ya got any pics of the engine bay done?
holy hell man, that looks pretty sick, the top end seems pretty nasty also. good job.
thanks for all the comments guys, its been a long process but so worth it. i do have some footage of the car with pictures from under the hood but im waiting to make another video after we go to the dyno the second week of may.
makes me wish i would have gone turbo instead. The car sounds great to!
