Leroy's Mirage Kicks Into High Gear

Great news, just got word before Christmas that Eric will be back from deployment five months early.  What does this mean?  His project car kicks into high gear.  I have major things to get done in just a fw short weeks before he arrives in late January to pick up his Mirage.  The work will include replacing engine gaskets, bolting on the modified intake manifold, installing the 60mm throttle body, performing a tune up, installing the EGR block off plate, adding a PCV system, re-wiring the engine bay (to de-merrill the car), and also performing basic vehicle maintenance such as a LOF and alignment.  The final step will be to get her back to the dyno once up and running to hopefully break the century mark this time around.  The last time the car dynoed at 79whp due to some major issues from poor quality parts and workmanship over at merrill performance in california.
