Looks good! when I did mine, I tried mounting the radiator slanted like that, but it would get hot, bc air couldnt flow through it enough, especially with the condenser in front of it. Had eventually to do the vertical radiator mod.
Hopefully you get by without the same problem I had.

AFASTYZFR1 and his buddy Patrick really did an incredible job getting this in for Tim.
After a rough start tuning this AM across town, I got down to where Tim's car was. The guys were just getting done with the very last touches. On top of the blower install, there was the intake swap and a significant amount of rewiring. The work was top notch.
Since the car had already been tuned in 1bar SD, the move to 2bar was really easy. The guys were so thorough that there was not one mechanical issue or thing to adjust or to have to stop to fix, nothing, uninterrupted tuning.
The 42lb Injectors are static at 5400 RPMs even with the meth CRANKED (2 #10 nozzles). From there we begin to drift north in AFR of the 11.2:1 that we are commanding. The combination of the 7.25" crank pulley and the 5.25" blower pulley netted us 8.5psi @ 6,000 RPMs with at 11.7:1 AFR. Since this is a relatively high compression engine (AFR 205s milled to 60cc and COmetics 0.040" compressed head gaskets), even with the meth, the timing is kept very conservative at 12-14deg. Up top where it starts to wander lean, the timing falls very low in case he touches that region spinning before his 60lb injectors get here this week. With the G5X3 on a 114LSA that is in the car, it didn't peak N/A until about 6,500. If that's the case here, after looking at the boost plotted on the VE, it looks like it should make right at 9psi at 6,500. This is a little more than we hoped for unfortunately, but a bottom end was already in the near future.
The car sounds AWESOME. Thanks to EPP for getting us the Procharger bits that we needed and quickly! Glad you got it back today Tim, happy birthday. Somebody get this man a TIRE!

The coolest part about it is, I bought this car bone stock 2 years ago... I take that back, it had a Borla cat-back... Slowly it got a lid... lt's.... new cat-back...then I met Frost and he's pretty convincing when it comes to selling you on the idea of making the car fast... So the AFRs and FAST pieces went on, with the insane cam... A year later, here we are w/ one hella' big blower and (eventually) all the HP my dumbass will be able to handle.
Just been kinda' fun watching/feeling the car progress... and to think the original idea when the car was purchased was to have a nice, stock vehicle. ...Kinda' f'd that one up, huh?
By the way... Do I finally earn a spot on your "Customer Rides" section Steve? lol
