I think it's the same rad and fans as yours if I remember correctly

Finally got the car started the other day. I can honestly say that I am impressed with the Holley EFI and its self learn. Car idled perfect right off.

Where did you get your valve covers. Did you weld the an fitting on the front or did it come that way?

Question for ya. With the a2w mounted in front like that doesn't it create a bunch of condensation and drip onto the track surface? Reason I ask is I saw the puddle under it.

I ran it the end of last season and it worked really well. Almost no psi drop and 89 degree IAT's at the end of a pass on a 90 + degree day

No condensation at all. That water is from draining the radiator

Wow that's great. I was going to change the bungs in the cooler from 3/4 to 1" for increased flow.

The fittings I used were 3/4 to 1 inch and I used 1 inch hose. Worked fine

Default 97 Camaro LS1(346) 76MM Turbo Build Thread
After running into a cracked head issue, then pushrod clearance problems, I have finally made some headway and finally got the car started again.

The last thing I really needed to do was center the rear and weld up the anti roll. It will be going to the chassis shop soon to make sure everything is right.

The plan right now is to hit the dyno tomorrow and if all goes well the chassis shop to get set up and scaled, then the track
