BOOST TIME!!!!
Brakes are done outside of bedding the pads, will do that tomorrow.
New 160 T stat is in, fans were adjusted to come on sooner to compensate for the 160. Let the car idle for about 20 min and temps never climbed hire than 180. But the true test will be when I drive it.
Got my Holley screen to read ethanol content, currently sitting at 62%
New o2 is in, but same issue on start up with the AF going to 32-35 then within 30 seconds it reads as it should. Called the tuner and he said it might be a software issue and we need to update to the newest version. Might do that tomorrow.
Checked everything over from the blower install and everything looked to be good.

Double check the setting in the Holley match the sensor type/part number being used. 32-35 AFR definitely seems like a calibration or software setting, most cars won't run past 18-19AFR
I'll double check it tomorrow. You will know better than me, but from what I have gathered. The Terminator only takes the Bosch o2 sensor that comes with the Holley Terminator. No other o2 will work with it, and there has been talk of the new software allowing a different o2, but that hasnt happened yet. They are notorious for going bad. So I would assume thats whats programmed in the Holley, but as mentioned I will double check it
This is the 3rd one to go bad on 2 different vehicles. I guess the Dominator takes a different sensor and has a totally different plug.
I wasnt sure which holley you had, but yes they come with a Bosch. How far down the exhaust and what angle is the sensor mounted? Make sure its mounted or sitting between a 10 and 2 angle, 11-1 is more ideal so moisture will drip off, E85 attracts moisture like a mofo. if its too close to the engine, they wont last long. I try to place them just past the collector on long tubes, and with shorties and midpipe at least 24" back.
I have long tubes and just off the top of my head, its sits about 6-8" behind the collector. Its right around a 10 and 2 angle
Car is back home and the brakes feel insanely good, huge difference over the 2 piston set up. Now I actually trust them to stop in an oh shit moment if needed.
Again, I'm not familiar with these LS's and especially with a blower. I did like 85-90mph almost the whole way home on 290, temps never climbed above 205. They actually held steady between 203-205 at those speeds. On the EOE there was a state trooper so I did like 60-65mph and temps stayed in the 192-195 range. I dont know what normal is on a LSA blower car. Fans are set to come on at 175 and the 2nd at 190.
Almost at the finish line with her. Needs to go back to the painter for my hood, AC, and the final polish. Then
01bluesnake is going to fab up a custom intake tube for me.

Went and paid
01bluesnake a visit today. He is going to get parts ordered and fab me up an intake tube. Not much room to play with, but he came up with what we hope is a solid idea. I mentioned to him about the coolant temps running a little warm, especially with it being hotter out today. He suspects the high IAT's are contributing to it, sort of a domino effect. Sure as shit, the ride home I watched both at the same time. IAT's start climbing into the 145-155ish range, the coolant temp also went up to 205-208. IAT's came down and a couple of minutes later the coolant temps dropped.

I've never seen my cressida look good before. That was till today when I looked over and saw it reflected in the spinning copper vortex of this rolling monster shortly before I was startled by an angry LSux battling to accelerate the earth away from under a great lakes iron ore barge.
