Progress is being made, but I still have a lot of work to do. Just because of the holiday season coming up, I'm guessing I won't be able to complete this until late January.

Good work man.
I finally got started working on my car this weekend. I've worked every weekend since school started so I haven't had a lot of time to get mine going. Christmas break is going to be spent in the garage.
I'm taking the whole break off work to get my little monster up and running with DSM link.

Very nice, Dan. Perhaps we can find a weekend or evening between now and thanksgiving to put mine together. Should be easy for a pro like you. I don't know where half these vacuum lines go. LOL
I can't wait to see the Phoenix rise again. (Although it's a shame to put something so beautiful into a dirty engine bay, Get some rattle can and clean up that bay before the engine goes in, bro.)

4g63s have only a few vac lines once you eliminate all the emissions crap.
Have you ever seen the vac lines on a rx7 ?? I got a headache looking at my boys last night. They call it a "rat's nest" . I now know why.

Stock for now, just for the break-in. I will be going to a JMFab SMIM w/ Q45 throttle body as soon as I get some good mileage on the motor. To start I'll be at 15psi too so I shouldn't have any problems with the stock manifold until I go higher.

One of my friends made over 500 whp on the stock intake manifold, as well as some of the stock intercooler 'pipe'. He went to a smim after this, but just figured I would throw it out there.

Thanks, I've read that too. I know it's possible but I don't want to strain the whole system just because I can. If I open it up it will be 500 hp easy.
