Default Nitrous to Procharger Build

I've been gathering parts for sometime and I've finally started working on the car again. Filling up bottles was starting to get old and I want to have the power available at all times. Im still going to keep a small kit on the car for those just in case situations.

Past two days I worked on mounting the new radiator and stock fans. Finished most of that up today and will start working on mounting the intercooler tomorrow.

All I run is the waterpump and alternator. I found an aftermarket bracket that will align the fbody alternator to the corvette belt line.

I am keeping an eye out on this build, can't wait to see how it turns out. If you don't mind, could you share what balancer you are using to make this work?

Worked on mounting the intercooler today. Also started mocking up some of the piping. Gonna need to cut the underside of the hood a decent amount to clear everything but it should be ok.

Looking good looking good!

Hey while youre in there.. tack weld the water pump pulley to the shaft. An F1R is a bitch to turn and it WILL walk the pulley off the shaft, then the belts will start shredding on the rear edge of the pulley...

FYI..
