I started with a hks cat back and have since had the muffler and cat replaced. Sounds like a job for a exhaust shop.

How many miles before an engine is broke in? Whats the consensus on this?
Just to update, I finished running the exhaust all the way back, hope to post an updated video soon, the first one didn't do it justice.

We'll preferrably it takes 2000 miles to break an engine in. At different speeds.

Began installation of the MSD ignition today. Hope to complete tomorrow and move onto the supercharger.

MSD DIS-4 Ignition is installed, had a minor glitch today though, I suspect a faulty wiring harness plug, going to keep a close eye on it.

Did you figure it out?

Yep, the msd was showing an error message of not having a trigger wire connected properly, I did some research and found that the plug on the MSD side was not connecting to the violet wire and have fixed it. Such a small problem causing big issues.

Planning on adding the supercharger tomorrow, well starting anyway. I have a few obstacles to overcome. Space is coming at a premium lately. Hopefully it will be completed by the end of this week.
Oh and I will be adding a snorkel at the same time, mostly for the fresh air than anything else, unless I thing of a better ram air type idea in the process of adding things.
More to come.

Began installation of the SC today, having to relocate the Cruise Control (I think that's what it is), and an A/C line. Looks like I will have to gain more room near the fire wall as well. Things are getting tight under that hood.

Got most of the piping welded and ready, hoping to start up tomorrow.

Thanks OC, I take that as a compliment.
Got everything together and started up, had the same issue with the MSD and promptly bypassed it and it started right up! I have the boost solenoid set to 100% at any boost over 1 psi and to cut the injectors at 6 psi (overboost). Had to over drive the injectors to 34% and still need to tune more. It sounds sick! It's got that supercharger whine that I crave.
I took it out on the road directly and took it easy at first, the difference is amazing, boost comes in quickly and I am able to ease off the throttle going up hills at low rpms, absolutely thrilled with the results. I later laid into it and boost wound up and maxed out at 4 psi, what a difference, taking off is now fun and not at all sluggish, it has low end grunt I didn't think was possible.
I think with a little tuning I can easily reach 6 psi, probably more, but I am reluctant to go higher than that...for now.
I will post pictures and a good video tomorrow.
Keep in mind the hood and intake piping still need major mods, I just wanted to get it running again.
