You're doing a man's job there. Dealing with a chopped up electrical harness would about drive me nuts, I fear. Congrats on getting the bumper on. Looks nice. Will look nicer painted. The big old FMIC makes a statement!
Earlier this summer, you were mentioning very high engine compartment temps. Like, how hot? I feel like mine is hot, and I definitely can see the heat waves off the air coming up out of the CS hood vent. It'd be good to have something to compare it to. I've taken to sticking a meat thermometer bwteeen a couple of intercooler vanes when I get to my destination. Tends to be 183F when I get to work (downhill), and 210F when I get home.
I watched your video. Love the whine of the turbo when it says hello. About power, I got about the same situation. If I want power, I keep it rapped up toward 3000rpm. It doesn't pull as well below that. Just not enough power developed. I've left the SBC powered down for now and just running 93 Octane and 8psi stock boost. How's the turbo delay with the long travel time to and from the FMIC?
