Fuel pump should be in town tomorrow, EFI should be at the FedEx terminal either tomorrow or Wednesday morning.  Justin C and J Sharp say they will work on the car until it is complete.  Not sure when that will be, but we are confident we will make speed week. :-D

Looks like the Fast system will be delivered today.  So we will see how long it will take to install, hopefully we can be finished on the dyno Fri so we can leave on Sat. :-D

We received the fast today and they didn't ship the second pair of fuel rails or the bungs for the injectors to sit in. :evil:  They were ordered today and shipped overnight, confirmed on that shipment.  Mean while we wired the whole unit and it is ready to go.  Here are a few pictures of what we have so far.

The dash has a new piece of aluminum and its new components mounted on it.



Dash is in the car.



The large wiring harness comming through the firewall.



The TPS sensor.



The water temp. sensor.



The 5 bar boost sensor.



The boost regulator.



And a custom made power cord, which is about 8 feet long.  Fit perfect to one of our battery boxes.



Tomorrow the manifold will be machined and fitted for the injectors and bungs.  We need to get the intercooler drilled and tapped for another sensor for intercooler temps.  We also need to install a water temperature gauge in the dash for us to see.  Justin Coffman and Sharp seem to think we will get it started.  We will see if we get that far, it would be great if we did. :-D

Wow, what a thrash. Hopefully a 300+ record will make all this last minute stuff forgettable. Good luck fellas, hope you make it!

Thanks for the encouragement, we were a little down when we heard the FAST unit was shipped ground.  Completion of the unit should be sometime tonight, and probably dyno time on Thursday.  I will video it, but probably post it after speedweek.  I haven't even done my laundry or packed yet. :-o

You guys are awesome!
I'm rooting for you all the way. I can't wait to see how well the electronic injection works out for you.
I would also like to thank you very much for keeping us posted as time flys by, it feels like it's my car because it is almost always the same last minute crap with it.
Best of luck!
I hope to see you at speed week.
