Got the Car Back from TMI last week. The center console and Dash pad will be here at the end of this week.
The interior came out awesome. Couldn't be happier.

looks good, Jay! Will the front and rear consoles run together to make one or will they stay separate?

Looks great Jay. Flows very nicely. I'm interested to see the dash pad installed. I like the one they had at SEMA.

You going to run their trunk kit too?

Its almost destiny that I see these photos just after I found TMI's products online. I like the look of the seats... well the whole interior is amazing for that matter. I was worried about how the grommets would be on road trips and long drives with less than perfect roads.

Lucky for you they're so close to HB. I'm thinking next time I'm down I'll have to swing by there.

why don't you flip the fuel rail so its closer to the fuel supply on the passenger side?

not to thread-jack but can you still put a fuel pressure gauge on the schrader valve when you flip the rail?

Swain

I have the fuel line hardlined down the driver side of the car. The fuel regulator was going to be too close to the exhaust in the pass side.

Are those Boze wheels? Or are they HRE? :mock:

Got the cars wiring all finished, but the wire to th fuel pump wasn't getting juice. Time to find out what the problem is

In the picture it looks like you have the older Russell fuel rail fitting with the plastic clip. Get rid of that thing ASAP before it burns your whole car down.

Do they leak? Tested everything and no fuel leaks

Been reported they do leak. Russel switched to the screw in retainer after reports the plastic clips were failing.

They have been known to burn cars down to the ground. No joke. The new Russell fitting is good and Earl's also makes a nice one with metal clips and an external clip for safety.

where did you put your O2 sensors? in the header extensions or in the headers themselves?

Swain

They are threaded into the headers

randy
08-09-2015, 09:35 PM
They are threaded into the headers

i thought they had to be at a 45 degree angle? the headers place the sensor horizontal.

Swain
08-09-2015, 10:02 PM
Never heard of that they are Ultimate Headers.

andrewb70
08-10-2015, 09:52 AM
i thought they had to be at a 45 degree angle? the headers place the sensor horizontal.

Sensors can be anywhere from horizontal to straight up, as long as they are in the top half of the header collector. The reason for this is so that condensation does not pool inside the sensor.

T,

Well I guess it just took a few times of me spraying a tiny bit of starter fluid and letting it run. Some reason the injectors didnt spray enough fuel to start it. Runs like a champ now. This car hauls I was surprised this LS3 480 had that kind of power
