I believe I know that car. The previous owner was on this site back in the day. I did a number of different mods to it. Does it still have the snow injection system on it? He mounted it in the cowl area.

Hey RJ.
I have not done any body mods yet. I am saving them for last.
Here are some of the things I have done so far.
New ZZP Crate motor
Line lock on the rear brakes. (With an SS shift knob with the button in the knob. Will also function as a Hill Holder.
BiXenon replacing the factory fog lights. (HiLo)
AquaMist Water injection. ( not completed yet)
Intercooler water spray
Water spray in the front wheel wells (to facilitate burnouts.
Custom dash gauge pods on either side of the steering wheel.
Custom center pod over the center storage bin (Water inj gauge, 3 switches, voltmeter
Custom CAI with air intake using the fog light grill.
Tri read IAT gauge, Before and after intercooler and flip a switch and it will read the CAI Temp
Relocated windshield washer bottle next to radiator.
Billet shifter to cable connectors (2)
Adjustable clutch cylinder
I have others in the works. Working on this project is a challenge and a great stress reliever.
I will keep you posted on other mods.

Hey Doc,
I removed the Snow and am replacing it with an AquaMist system. I am not done but it will inject based on boost, MAF, fuel injector duty cycle with a built in failsafe.

Wow, you've been busy!

I had heard of water injection, but was having a hard time wrapping my head around snow injection. How would you keep it from melting? Thanks for using an uppercase S in Snow, now I understand it is the manufacturer!!
