How much pressure loss does Bell advertise for that 6" core intercooler? That thing is ****** huge hopefully it streamlines very well.

Any updates?

I am not sure to be honest. But, I'm still not at the point of doing all the turbo stuff yet, so I will figure all that out when I have it ready. Right now, I am just trying to get the motor/suspension/rear/tranny in and then start working on the turbo kit. It will be a while, but I'm trying to stay patient, lol.

Anyways, got the heads back from porting. Pics don't describe how awesome these things came out!















It's almost looking like a roller, lol. Teaser of the Fikses on the car.

Not really an update, but got a few more parts to finish the motor/tranny build, the clutch is a McLeod RXT twin disk with the MIBA ceramic lined disks, and aluminum billet flywheel. It's for the 2010-2011 Camaros (since I'm using tr6060 hydraulics, and the input shaft is longer on the 6060s). Clutch is rated to 1000whp for the street.

Make sure you notch the moroso pan in the starter area in order to get a socket to the starter. The machined lip hangs over more than a stock pan and it will be a bitch to remove or install the starter bolt. On the oil pan gasket myself and others have had to use prematex on it to get it to seal correctly. On the bottom side and around the oil ports to filter. Goodluck. Just some advice from a X TT TA owner with the same pan

Next things on the list to be able to drop the motor in is; cam, lifters, intake, and send the rockers off to get the trunion upgrade. Then I can order the mainshaft for the tranny and swap it out, and then start working on the rear.

Thanks for the insight man, I'll be sure to do that when we put it on
