Scott, this is what I was talking about - if you buy a BTM new, it's 379.95 from Summit, If you get the programmable one, it's 358.97 from Summit (but needs a MAP sensor)
The second one is a much better choice. (accuracy, technology, tuneability etc)
Also, there's the one I texted you which will only work if you already have an ignition box already

small update. Everything is done and leaving to be polished,chromed & ceramic coated tomorrow.
The car only needs some misc fittings and an ignition system to be done.
Also Decided to go ahead and get a 7531 and do it right the first time.
Planning to drive it just off the spring till I recover from this phase of the build.
Here is a before pic of what all is going.
www.pulidoplating.com will be doing the chrome/polishing and ceramic coating elsewhere .
stay tuned
One day at a time.

Everything is back from being polished. The turbo parts missing(hotside/headers) are still being ceramic coated.
what you see cost $530
not bad considering that some of the castings had to be sanded smooth. For you picky guys I wouldn't consider this to be "show chrome" polishing but it looks okay.
I wished they would have spent a little more time on the final polish. minor scratches dont = Show chrome. lol
stay tuned
One day at a time.

Dropping car off with Brooks tomorrow to get the oil return welded to the pan.

Update!
Got the car on the dyno and it made 760@18 lbs on E85. Leaving it alone till I get a glide/boost controller & cage. Im sure plenty is left in her. I will find out next spring. In the meantime it will be driven around on the 9lb spring.
Interior is now about done. Just need a new steering wheel. Has some Mach 1 seats redone in black and had the rears matched. Overall Im happy with the out come.
One day at a time.
