the A1000 doesnt support 1000hp… the next step up is the Eliminator. ---

It’s the A1000, sorry 800hp. 😉 I’m setting up the fuel system for the turbo engine so I dont have to redo it later. I ordered it from Aeromotive, so yes it comes with their bull shit little relay. Which we’ll be driving off the Tec. ---

turboLS1 are you running the A1000? Any issues/little glitches you think I should know about? Everything Aeromotive I’ve ever dealt with has been nothing but solid, but I figure might as well ask. ---

Sounds like you got a little bit of work still ahead of you. The fender walls look great. Also what is your deadline and is there a specific show/event your trying to be ready for? (which I assume on page like 3 you mention it but I didnt see ) ---

March 23rd I leave for Philly with the car for the BlownEuroz show. I suspect I’ll have it completely done minus the cage/floor/fuel system. And considering there is a small chance I’ll be going to Florida for a week of drinking/relaxation starting friday, I gotta haul ass. ---

To the best of my knowledge, the stepdown controller is not required. Though I’m all ears if I’ve read, and heard incorrectly. Keeping in mind this is a track car primarily and sees mostly upper RPM workouts. ---
