Intercooler piping.. Clocked the F1x to exit towards the center of the steering rack.. I will end up re-doing the throttle body pipe, it ended up with too long of a coupler. Maybe switch to a Vanjen clamp?..
Dual Tial 50mm bypass valves.. I do have parts for an air filter to snake next to the intercooler. . I have a dirt driveway, so some sort of filter would be nice just to get it on and off the trailer...

I originally hoped the A2W would sit higher behind the bumper structure, but the pipes are already .001" from the hood!
If it doesn't work out, plan B was to mount a new interooler in the interior, but that will take a bunch of work to route the piping. Maybe if/when I upgrade the blower!!

Yeah, I doubt this would work as a street car. We have plenty of time to cool down between runs, so the intercooler took priority. So far, so good.

What would be a fit for drag radials.. 275/40/17 or 275/50/17 on 17x9.5 +54mm ??
Car is lowered on coil overs.
I would need something I can get quickly.. Will work on a better solution going forward.

Valve covers and catch can.. Sorry for the bad pics.
Proform covers. I welded a threaded oil fill cap and -10an fittings. Stock fittings were removed and plugged. Inside of covers have been modified to allow more air to go thru the baffle and into the -10 fittings.
Catch can is a generic piece that I planned on swapping out, but it has worked fine so far...
