Ive just recently started following this thread, but man that setup looks killer. Really hope to see some vids of it just ripping up the asphalt here soon! Its been a long project, but it will be worth it. My friend has (re)built a couple cars, and they take a while, but in the end they are all so worth it.

350SS,
nice read. Where did you get the intercooler? And, What is the 5 button switch/possible relay on the drivers side used for?

Can't wait to see some vid

Good luck

The intercooler is a treadstone, I bought it off of a forum member over on turbomustangs.com. Not sure about the 5 button switch you're referring to?
