Currently acquiring parts for a twin build myself so looking forward to seeing progress. My a2a is a twin bottom inlet, 3.5" top outlet and was very excited to seeing your idea for going between the top support & radiator. Current plans are to cut and remake a top radiator support such as most do when standing up the radiator in an F'body (as i did in mine as well). I may have to look into seeing if i could do this first. What diameter is the tube on yours if you please?
Thanx man, IIRC the pipe from the top of the IC to the TB is 4". At first I thought I was going to have to modify the upper radiator support as well but I dropped the radiator down a tad more and everything fit perfect. The radiator is actually bolted to four brackets that are welded to the Intercooler.

I dropped the car back off at D3 today to get the wastegates relocated, new down pipes made, and finish tuning.

Well ive got good news and bad news.

Good news: The wastegates worked flawlessly, no boost creep what so ever across the board.

Bad news: The motor is hurt.

Not sure what let go but im guessing it ate a ringland or bent a rod.

The last pull @ 14psi made 578 hp 876ftlbs at 3200rpm. Pulled the plugs and everything looked good, AFR and timing was spot on.

Gayness...

Yep.

Just to clear the air, the 5.3 is what **** the bed.

The ERL is safe and sound.

Nope, I still have it.

Been to busy with work and life in general but I will be pulling the 5.3 out the next time I am home and making a few other changes.

I have a offer of 22k for the car with the ERL but still not enough to take it home. .

If I cant sale it with the ERL I will finish it when I get the time to mess with it.

No suprise there, he has more car parts that Late Model Restoration.

He swears up and down he hates LS motors but I think he has a crush on my car.
