I'd like to see some more on this as well (in Texas as well). Thinking of going the vertical route myself to make some more room in the engine bay.

Its still there....lol! Wish I had the $$$ to do what I want to it now, but that will all have to wait. Just getting some ideas down and trying to visualize how much its going to cost me. Wife and I are looking to by a house by the end of the year, so my car project is on hold. Oh well, at least its running now.

How is your car going? Get all the kinks worked out?

I did a parade last year that was long, slow & around 100 degrees. I had no problems and was one of only a handful that didn't over heat.

I have my fans set up as pullers though. The biggest thing is to have a good shroud that pushes/pulls the air through the entire radiator. I also have a blanket on my turbo.

Heres my LT1 set up




It doesnt run too hot considering its almost 13:1, cruising town it gets about 200. When you call griffin, ask for Patrick. He helped me and one of my buddies with our radiators.
