Pretty much the only aftermarket rear bumper I like, and may end up getting one day.
Nice work Oscar, sounds good!

Thanks guys,
Everything is checking out nicely. I've taken it out 2 times and both had nice smooth pulls.
So far the couplings have popped twice in different locations. Once was my oversight; I did not torque the clamp at all on the first clamp coming off the compressor housing. The other was more sinister as the T-bolt clamp was fully tightened (on the black coupler seen in the vid) and appeared to be fine. I'll tackle it tomorrow and try again.
So far the $1 clamps for CT seem to be just fine.
I've got a 1 hr window at the dyno scheduled for wednesday; hopefully i'll have cleared the kinks out.

The motor is a KLZE w/o KL31 cams; it has square ports and has the MS8 manifold. The motor itself is bone stock, as is the tranny.
So far so good.

I guess it could have been worse... HLA's should be easy enough to replace.
Thanks to Mike, he's generous enough to give me some he has from one of his blown motors!

I recommend some front and rear 88 duro AWR mounts

Lol! Yea, I was going to fill them with 80A but McMasterCarr won't ship to Canada.
If all goes well with the HLA's then I'll worry about the mounts over the winter.
