Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Yeah, whatever you want to call it - you had the poll asking if you should get the one you got or a cheaper one and you went with the "wideband" or something because it had a wider range or something another.
I just got word from Kyle that he recieved a little shipment today! And that tool he needs should be here tomorrow! I hope he doesnt mind me updating his thread lol! Looking good Kyle I hope its done for woodward tomorrow night!
I'll throw an update on before I head back outside.
Connected the spaghetti line to the new nipple via the rubber boot supplied:
Threw some loom on there, so it didn't look so shitty:
Supercharger, Throttle Body and Air Intake elbow (cleaned up a bit) back on:
Delivery Guy dropped off something...
Gauges installed into the pillar. Had to move the Voltmeter and Boost gauge all up one, cause the Innovate AFR gauge would only fit in the bottom slot.
Extended the Voltmeter harness, and wired/connected the spaghetti line to the Boost gauge. Dropped the AFR harness down, re-mounted pillar:

With some persuasion from a member on CobaltSS.net, I decided to redo my heat exchanger plumbing between the endplate and the heat exchanger. Instead of having that Tee, I'm just going to run out of the endplate, into the reservoir, and out of the reservoir and into the heat exchanger.
How I had it plumbed before, it would be a ***** to get the air out of the system, and not to mention, in a non thinking moment, I plumbed the line for the reservior to the tee, to go down and then back UP...not sure that'd work too well...
So, with a constant flow into and out of the reservoir, it should blow all the air out...
Just have to go get a "butt connector" for the heater hose, cause my hose to the bottom of the reservoir to the heat exchanger is a couple inches too short...

Glad I got rid of the Tee...not sure it woulda worked well:
Newly epoxied reservoir:
Plumbed up again:
Put some coolant in:
My dad helped me wire up the LC-1
Belt On - I LOVE the PulleyBoys tool:
Gauges:
Well...fired it up right after, first untuned (cause I forgot to load the tune), and then tuned. Runs smooth - BUT, the supercharger rattles at idle - the infamous coupler has gone. So I'm going to order a ZZP coupler which is supposed to last longer, and then I can see what type of AFRs I'm running. Not going to bring it out today, just to be safe.
Here's the video of the first startup without a tune (you can hear the rattle at idle):
