Procharger guru's, I need some advice.
So I am going to finish this car up. Quick run down of the build...
forged 383, a.i. 226cc heads, cam similiar to the brute speed cam, 80lb injectors, fast 102 intake, 102 tb, 1 7/8" kooks, 3" y pipe, 4" mufflex, 4l80, 3800 stall and compression should be 10.25 or so. I have a f1 procharger with the procharger front mount intercooler and aster bracket. For cooling fans I followed a thread on here about a spal replacement for the procharger fan and a 9" fan bob sells. What I need to know is what radiator should I use for a hot climate, is my compression to high, how much boost can I run safely with the current compression and where do you guys mount your hobb switches? I'm sure I am going to have plenty more questions and plan on talking to Bob and get his take. Figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here and get the ball rolling. Thanks in advanced and any other tips are apperciated.

Is this a F-body car? If so, I would get the LT1 F-body radiator if your not going to cut up the car and stand up a aftermarket radiator. Your compression is fine, I would add meth injection to your list though. Should be a beast when your all done.
I would also recommend getting a vacuum manifold to plumb all the systems together. I got this on Ebay cheap and run my Hobbs switch, bypass valve, meth injection, HVAC controls, and boost gauge.
