Where are you locking the converter at? FTI told me I could lock my triple disc also but the thought scares me, lol

Here is the intercooler setup now and best pic of the laid down radiator - intercooler is from frozenboost.com (Best money spent on the car yet) IAT's are incredible since I went to A2W


It was not easy to make all this happen to say the least..... everything is soooo close to each other but it does fit. Laying the radiator down was the hardest part. Our frames are 1/4" too narrow to have the stock radiator fitting, so you have to hack the drivers side of the frame out to make room for the side tank.

I talked to you at the ICC races at I-29. Love the car, so many cool custom things that look like they were supposed to be there from the beginning. Keep it up!

HEY!!!!! Thanks man, I agree the laid down radiator idea I stole from the new C7's but its weird why GM didn't do it to begin with, its like it was made to do it.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Congrats, Very nice time!

I see you run no filter, just the Valute (SP) Do you put any wire mesh in front, what do you think it picks up vs a Large filter, and have you ever had any issues on the track with sucking anything up in there???

Thank You!
Joel

Joel, correct at the track - No screen just cuz I was so worried about it getting sucked into the blower..... I run the big filter that A&A provided originally on the street with no issues. But I have seen a large increase in power with no filter and running only the bell.
No issues yet with sucking anything into it other than bugs, before I tilted my radiator forward it'd suck up bugs when I had the A&A plastic air bridge on it over the radiator and the bell on the end of it. There was lots of guts splattered on the fins and around the volute lol
But now the radiator is tilted forward itd have to go through radiator first and I haven't seen any bugs or anything in it.

Yeah that was a good day in that video for sure, it paid good too The weird thing was it ran 5.80's all day long, and since then we've scrubbed 2 tenths off that now. As you can see in that video it looks like I'm asleep every pass but actually I could only launch that thing on a dead idle otherwise it'd blow the tires off.
That's my biggest change this winter is going with coilovers and running radials, hopefully that will let me get it on the 2 step and get my 60' down so I can launch it instead of having to run the competition down.

Thanks for the kind words

Good luck with the radials this year. As you for sure know, we're trying to go the other way as we mainly run 1/8th mile and the track prep is either non-existent or sketchy at best. Lots of outlaw small tracks for us. I sure hope those slicks hold from the line.
