It won't be finished until Spring 2007. I am almost done with the most challenging and difficult part of any car project?.
Putting aside funds, finding the ideal low mileage car and buying all of the hot rod parts! (How many projects fail for lack of that?  )
This has been a slow motion project for sure - but it??s well planned out, fully funded, and when I start wrenching, things will happen quickly. It will basically be like disassembling and reassembling a new car. All the mods (except one) are bolt on. Tuning the thing will be a challenge?for someone else. ADC is one option, but there are some obvious others.
Regrettably I had problems with the building contractor for my new workshop. I had to pull the plug quick to avoid a worst situation later (long story).
The result is I??m going to have to do this in a much smaller area than I??d originally planned (2 car attached garage), without a lift. I really thought about putting up a metal building on my existing concrete pad as a quick solution, but in the long run it??s a waste of time and money to go that route.
The first mod will be welded sub-frame connectors so I will have some nice jack points. I need the car driveable for that anyway.
I will take lots of pictures as I go along and I may put together a website. I have always liked seeing how other??s projects are going.

Thanks for the update! Now I know that I won't need to bother you again, until ~April of 2007!  If you, or someone you know are interested in tuning the vehicle, you might consider getting in on the Group Buy I have going, for the Xcal2 + Pro Racer Package! PM me if you're interested. I'm sure Warmonger could set you up with a really good tune, and you could make fine adjustments from there. Just thinking of alternatives to shipping the car to Arizona, where conditions will differ from where you're located. Anyway, can't wait to see this motor in your car come spring time!  Mark

Thanks Mark,
I have the Xcalibrator 2 with (I hope) two baseline tunes designed by ADC for my Turbo 3L. I haven't used it yet and won??t be until I get ??Evil Twin? assembled.
I will certainly need help adjusting the tunes that ADC sent me. Right now doing that with anyone except ADC seems problematic. For example, if I asked Warmonger to tune this thing, he would have to start from scratch with his own baseline tune, right? Am I correct in believing that only ADC can modify the tunes they sent me?
Since I am assuming anyone who could help me tune this already has the SCT Advantage III software, how would the PRP help me, a guy who absolutely knows better than to try and learn to tune on a custom forced induction engine!? I really am interested in the PRP software but I am not sure what additional capability it provides me. With software, it??s probably better to wait to buy until the last minute anyway.
If I do not send the car to Arizona, I will get the analog data cable and wideband O2 sensor for data logging. I have no problem with renting significant dyno time locally (somewhere).
