Nate,
Looks great. We need more pics of the engine bay. Your tt headers look like art work.

More pics

Nate is the intercooler mounted directly to the throttle body under the dash or where did you mount it? Behind the glovebox area?

Its mounted between the firewall and glovebox door with a 45 degree elbow to the throttle body and a aluminum 45 degree elbow to the intake. I'll post some more pics next week when I'm running it around.

Wow Nate it looks mint. Cant wait to see it finished. Nice work.

Why the firewall mod and is that one piece there just bent/rounded or multiple pieces and smoothed?

LS1NOVA

I originally smoothed and recessed the firewall for a victor jr and an elbow, then it had a Ls1 intake, then a Ls2,both fit good and looked good. The new sheetmetal intake is taller and would have went right through the bend looking stupid. Therefore I cut it out and raised the recessed area 2 inches to match. It's multiple pieces welded and smoothed.

Firewall wall looks very clean.

We need more pics of the engine bay.

You've probably answered this before, but are those SC&C upper control arms?
How much tire clearance do you have? Do you think you could run a 275 front tire? Would you buy them again?

LanceL

Looks really good. Under the dash did you enclose the throttle body or just leave it out in the open?

There is some serious quality work in this thread.

Also, in regards to those control arms... the curved connection between the arm and the cross shaft... yours is curved inward towards the axle centerline, which looks like it would accommodate tire clearance better... but all the pictures I'm finding have this curved connection facing outward. Is this a Nova thing or does it matter? Does your specific suspension setup require this?

Yes. I turned the front part of the control arm around for more clearance. I could run a 275 for sure. Just need a AirRide Musclebar or fab one similar.

Open.

Thanks!!

I've been tuning it. 20lbs so far. Hard to gauge performance. Need the wife to run me in her high 11 sec G8 to see.

Any particular reason you're leaning specifically towards the musclebar?

LS1NOVA

iTrader: (12)

Its designed for maximum tire clearance.
