Feeling pretty good. I still have to watch how I move, and laying over the core support is in short spells, but all in all I'm doing OK.

For future reference.... IMO I would try to only spray water on the cold side if you decide to do so down the road. I would think running it through the IC would risk some staying in the IC like the oil from the CCV does. Even though water doesn't stick quite like oil, that would be a concern for me.

I doubt I'll ever do a water/meth system, but I wanted to have a couple ports on the cold side just in case I may decide to try one down the road. Like Nate said.....maybe NOS! LOL!!!

Slowly but surly Gabe. I got some distilled water, so I'm gonna try to get the block flushed today and get the water pump on. I may even start on the trans today.....we'll see.

That would be nice Nate, but I don't know yet. I still gotta get the trans in and build a down pipe, which is gonna be a pain. I also still have to make an intake tube, wire up the e-fuel and get the chip and gauges installed.
