Haha.. Thanks guys.. Funny you should mention that! I ran across one of your build threads a few weeks ago and was actually looking at a whipple set up and your's stole my heart.. Loved your build (wasn't in love with the red coil packs - haha) Anyways, glad I ran across your thread - very happy with the fit and finish of the TVS Magna Charger.

Radiator/ Hose info.. Thanks everybody for the nice complments! I am very happy with the way it turned out.. I honestly spent more time on this website coming up with ideas and tips from all you guys then I did hanging over the fender! No lie..
Several guys have asked about my radiator and hose set-up, so I dug my notes out tonight. I actually bought the radiator off of E-Bay by a company named Entropytec (Entropy Technology Corp). It was listed as a 67-69 Camaro LS1 LS2 aluminum radiator with dual fans. I paid $699 for the radiator/ fans and another $100 or so for the dual fan relay wiring harness. Quality and fitment was top notch! I would buy again in a second...
The hoses I bought ended up being a stock c4 vette hose on the bottom and the top hose was a Dayco D71785 I bought from Autozone. I bought about 10 hoses before I found the perfect one for the top!! Anyways, everything ended up fitting really nice.. Hope this info is helpful! Good luck with all your projects! Thanks again, Jason.

Great info man. Whats harness did you go with? Also what headers and mounts are you running? I have a lsx454 and cant decide on headers that dont cost 1500+ that have 2" primaries. Im wondering if I can get away with 1 7/8" primaries and not lose to much power. Curious to see what your running. Thanks Steven.

Hahaha.. Great idea.. Unfortunately, that would be the only blowing sound going on in my bedroom these days... Wifey found the receipt for the s/c and I haven't seen her since.... She's probably at the travel agency trying to figure out how to get even with me.. I got a feeling I'll be somewhere tropical here soon..
