and does the water to circulate to cool the tanks go in another heat exchanger somewhere? the threaded openings on the top are the fittings for the water piping i suppose.
Charge pipes go directly to throttle body from air to water IC's. There is a large heat exchanger that mounts in the grill of the car that dissapates heat from the water.

LMR is doing the final assemly on my car now. Im hoping to have a running car very soon. The build got put behind schedule due to some unforseen problems but its very close.

Heres some pics of the piping after the coating was done.

Swain tech coating? I like the black chrome look!

I talked with the guys at LS fest about the car and I can wait to see you and Stephen and Josh and the crew to "split some wigs" this fall at the mile!

Looks great
