LIM Gasket Progress w/pics.
Well, heres the update with some pics. Got it all tore down, but I wasn't planning on removeing the supercharger from the lower intake to try and save a few gaskets. But there were two bolts that were just not gonna allow that. Oh well, not the end of the world. Since I have the extra vehicle and time, I'm also gonna be sending out my injectors to the guy Willwren knows and get them flow matched and try to get them as close as I can to being really good. Should I try and do any proting with the */C and LIM manifold?? Any noticeable gains or effects from doing that?
On with the pics.
Here is what my engine looked like when I started today.
Couple shot os the engine with out the LIM.
Supercharger and Throttle body assembly:
Here'* the gasket, looks like junk to me.
Yes, My lower intake is soaking in about 7 gallons of 93 octane right now.....And yes that is a garbage can (mom'* pissed LMAO)

1/2 way there.

All the gasket material came off withouth leaving anything behind, but I just wanted to soak it to remove all the grime that'* on it from the LIM gasket leaking and the valve cover gaskets leaking before I got the car.
