I love everything about it except putting the air filter behind the radiator. You are losing at least 20 hp pulling in that hot air even with a water to air intercooler.

There is actual now a piece hooked to that black vent you see above tha radiator that surrounds the air filter now. With the hood in the works of being finished it forces cold air right on it. Its actual above the radiator, more pictures will be up soon.

About a inch from the nose of the water pump, its a aftermarket fan on the back(puller) and the stock m3 one in the front(pusher)

Hey newage, whats goin on man? I talked to you in CT at the Flex car show. That was awe inspiring so I got on with my LS1/t56 in my 1978 280z.

I was the kid that kept on coming back asking more questions with the big DSLR camera.

Thanks! (in a wierd way)
