2000 WS6 F1A Build thread!!!
Sorry I don't think we snapped any before installing it into the tank. If you check out Lonnie's Performance they look just like the ones he has on his web site.
Well actually its moved toward the front of the car 2.5" - 3" and still has the angle like the factory radiator. Standing the radiator straing up doesn't really gain you any space at the bottom where the inlet is the issue. I cut out the whole lower bracket and moved it forward enough that a 4" bend would make it on the blower inlet. Once all the parts are back from the powder coater we will try to get some better pictures showing the inlet as I know this is a major problem with these cars..

Here are a few more pictures of the work Rob and I had our buddy Bill Davis do for us. This is just a few pictures Bill took while doing the work.

Awesome build thread bud! I have a forged ls2 402 11.2.1 comp, looking to put an F1C or F1R on the car, run the meth kit, race fuel c16 etc etc. I am anticipating 1,000+rwhp in a full weight car. It's been 9.82 with a d1sc already similar setup. Anyhow,Looking forward to seeing your numbers, I might take it a notch back to the F1A. Best of luck with the build and results!

Verdad Gallardo They said it would give it better use of the whole core vs. just the lower half being the most effective. Something like that its been a few months since we chatted about doing that.

Mine is done and I dropped it off at IPS today to get tuned. I hope it was all worth it and I did my homework right on parts selection. I guess I will find out soon! If nothing else I learned a lot putting the cam/fuel/procharger set up on over the last couple of weeks.
Well apparently USPS priority mail needs a signature and the late pick up closes at 6:30pm, so car did not start up last night since we didnt have the PCM will get it going tonight and have a video ASAP!
Your mail is dumb. It was shipped no sig so that they would leave it for ya.
