Looking good. Quick question. Is there any advantage /disadvantage to placing the BOV where you have it. Don't usually see it there. I may consider adding a second one and that looks like a good spot space wise.

It's an easy spot to add a 2nd one, but it can disrupt the part throttle maf signal if you have too light a spring. I'm running the 11psi spring to keep it closed at part throttle

Thanks. That's what stops me from putting one up top on the pipe. It looks cool but messes with maf too much.

She's alive again and all seems well.

RSD radiator fittings for trans cooler were loose (not screwed in tight, quick connect fit fine) so I had a little leak there. Not sure if all of their radiators come like that, so be sure to double check before installing since the top one is hard to reach with the blower installed.

Going to put some miles on it this week and dyno next Saturday.

That size difference really is amplified once you see it installed.

And during install

I'm not sure how someone would do 3.5" intercooler pipe and retain the trans cooler and sway bar

A lot ditch the sway bar. (AKA drag car)
Some don't have AC either.

You crazy streetcar boys.

AC still blows ice cold while coolant temps hang in the 180's

and this car still sees corners on some cruises... need to put these R888s to use:

Looks killer man!

Whatever you do...don't forget to bring the velocity stack/5" pipe with you to the dyno.... Youre definitely gonna want to dyno it with the stack on it.

Sub'd for the numbers.... I'd love to see you make 1300+..

I decided to go with a 4.125"/8" combo and I'm honestly afraid it's going to make over 30psi with the bell mouth. Here's my inlet collection I'm taking to the dyno. Tiny k&n from my 630whp setup, Dallas Performance filter, airraid race day and the bell mouth.

Jeff, you'll love the Toyos. Just get some heat in them before throwing it in a corner/curve.

So about the hood fit... it's so close a piece of double side tape sticks. I marked a black dot where it's probably going to rub a little bit. Closes and latches ok tho.
