that looks awesome. i like the a2w in the nose. keeps things looking clean. the car starts to look like a boiler/furnace once you put it inside. do you think the a2w in the nose prevents the radiator from getting enough direct air?

To answer some questions:
we put the IC in the nose cause it fit and is a clean install. We are not worried about the weight as we will need to ADD weight for most classes. Even if we did not we have plenty of weight in the rear with the water tank and cell.
It is a race car. I hope I don't have to stop at the 1/8 mile to let it cool.
I don't see direct air flow being an issue even if I did drive it longer than 1320 feet.
If I left the plug wires where they are at I would not need to worry about cooking them. It would happen, nothing to worry about just a fact. We are not even sure if we will keep the coil packs.
No test hits yet. Still need to wire the car and do all the plumbing. Still deciding on the fuel system and a few other odds and ends. It will be on the dyno this winter and out next spring.
