Getting closer!
Well I got the front end stuff all bolted up with the new Cartek Flip Drive.
Modded Andy's Vortech brackets for a 10 rib-replaced all the plastic pulley's with aluminum ones and replaced the tensioner with a HD truck one.
Made a new intercooler, it's 28.5 inches wide and the cores flow 2000 cfm. I'll have around 4" of gap between the intercooler and the condenser and with the new rad this will be a cool cruising car in the summer heat. Plus I think I'll be able to fit a 9 " or 10" long race filter that flows 1900cfm-for lot's of unrestricted boost!
I'm just waiting on my Spal fans to arrive and I'll mount up the new Dewitts Rad and post pics.
After that all that's left are some custom heavy wall pushrods and I'm ready for cruising.

Triz your 6 rib can't be that weak! Honestly bro after seeing you go 9's I should honestly just take the simplest approach like you and be happy with it!
I have this major issue with overdoing everything!
Even though I have gone to alot of extremes on this car it's still a 100% full street car. This year I'm going to drive it everyday! I'm even going to drive it to Carlisle this year-So if anyones on this section is heading that way-let's hook up for a weekend of fun!
I'm also going to drive the car to the ECS rental as well, swap tires and let it all hang out!
I have a feeling that this mybe my last year with this car.
