Lesson learned I guess.

I just spent a couple hours building the intercooler piping and working on the fuel system.
I took a bunch of pics before it got dark for you guys to have a look at.
Heres a pic of the wastegate under the car, this is without the air dam http://server2.uploadit.org/files/Ar...-Wastegate.jpg
Heres where the turbo sits... it's almost impossible to see it from the top.
Can you say sleeper?
... nah I just relocated my radiator to the front and I've got a bad vacuum leak with a cold air induction setup.

Here is my old STS exhaust... lol
BTW, anybody need a STS oil pump and wiring harness?

Heres a pic of the spring bracket he made just to shut me up about pipe integrity
This spring bolts to the back A/C Compressor bracket bolt. Its just a little reasurrance

This is a pic of the top of the engine bay with the new fans mounted. This pic was taken without the bracket that goes on top and holds it all. It's the bracket that came with the K&N FIPK kit. Modified slightly. You cant see anything!

Heres a random pic I took of my 9in Moser and my Sumped Aluminum tank.

Quick shot of the passenger side manifold. Showing how it fits in there perfectly.

I cut my bumper and test fit the intercooler tonight. Heres a rough pic of what it's going to look like finished.

Man, I still can't believe how great these fans fit in there. Like a glove!

More fans...

Heres the driver side manifold. Plenty of clearance from the steering shaft.

Here is under the car, I just mounted the 02 sensors.

Sweet setup. I'm glad that somebody is finally putting the Phamspeed kit to good use. I hope to use mine on the stock shortblock, at least for a little while. Probably with a set of ported 6.0 heads. Any pics yet of intercooler plumbing? Again, it looks very nice.

Yea, thats a Nasty Nate sump tank. I'll let you know how everything turns out with that. The work looks nice, I just had some trouble getting a few pieces, we'll see how it turns out. He's a pretty standup guy for the most part. I know he stays busy.

That piece looks trick. When I start to build the "hot rod" I'm probably going to build a new LS2 block, @ least 402, and more like poked too, so the dry sump intreguies me since I'd like to turn left and right a few times too, not just go straight. Still cant decided on big single or twins. Personally, I prefer to row my own, which has me leaning towards twins. How much did that tank cost you? You running an oil cooler back there too or is it up front? Does it have it's own cooling fins? What kind of sump system are you running (pan, pump, ect.) and how many stages?? I know, I'm bombarding you, but if I don't write them down now I'll forget them.
