first of all love the build but should the sump of the gas tank be faceing to the rear if low on gas and on a hill and a heavy foot will couse gas to go to the back and stall the motor or cut out just my opinion

Thank you. I thought about that too - good eye. I decided that because its a 15 gallon tank and I'll have a fuel gauge - I probably wouldn't be in a situation where I'd ever be that low or on a hill with low fuel at a point of fuel starvation...... But now you have me thinking lol.

You have to put in a day's work to get a N.A. Eco to drink more than 3 gallons of gas so 15 gallons is ballast for several days. On the other hand, when you put in the big injectors and overdrive a blower then it will be just right to fill with ethanol

That was my thought going in lol!

Great job on the dash. I know you mentioned paddle tires but are you going to make this street legal also?

Thank you sir! Yes, it's already titles for the street. Still looking at tire options though. =)

I haven't had much time lately to mess around, but I have finished the wiring, for the most part. Just some small details to finish up.

Shaun, thanks for taking the time to post the updates — wiring looks great! ...may I ask what all those relays are for? I only have one for the fuel pump and that's it. LOL

OK do you know how those dbw pedals do in moisture. I don't plan on plowin through mud all the time. But I will be in it.

Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

Could you utilize your existing throttle cable and move the DBW to the rear in a box if you are worried about the elements?

That's what I'm thinking. Right now i have now throttle cable setup. I'm debating whether to buy one.

I am too concerned about the moisture, I am thinking of the ammo can idea, but was also considering the way. Shaun shows on the raw fram but build an aluminum shroud around it.
