blah blah blah, lol, i guess technically it was for sale. Reason being is im in the middle of buying a house right now so a little extra cash wouldnt hurt. But no need to now and just bought a set of 2" KOOKS for it so now im invested more into it so its here to stay. Im in the process of getting the intercooler mounted and cold side pipes installed. This week ill have the headers installed and most of the cold side done. Its gonna be a project to mount the intercooler since i cut out sooo much stuff so ill have to make a pretty decent piece to hold it. Plus in the middle of my move i fucked up my griffin radiator so i have another one on order!

On the other hand i got the trans installed, 3800 Vig. converter, TCI flexplate, Lokar dipstick, driveshaft installed. So the drivetrain is all in the car so its pretty close. After this intercooler is done all i need is fuel and spark and i can fire it. Ill get some more pics up as i get um!

Got some work done here guys. Got all my cold side pipes done, used some of the stock bends from the kit but had to shorten some here and make some longer because i have my intercooler in a different spot from where procharger wants you to put it and welded a bung in for the IAT. For the intercooler bracket i used angle iron to keep it from flexing upwards or sideways. Afterwards i made a "cage" around the intercooler then welded it all together. It only weighs 3lbs and can withstand a tornado!! I POR15 the support bracket and will POR15 the cold side stearling silver then install it and check it off the list. I have my headers ill get in after i get my rearend back from getting narrowed from MWC.


Sorry for the pics, there from my phone.....
