That is definitely a sweet ride... craftsmanship looks absolutely awesome.

One qq though... is your A2A intercooler flush against the radiator? How's that working out? Seems to me like the radiator would bleed heat onto the intercooler, especially sitting in traffic.

IT isnt right up against it, but it is close. There is almost zero space from the front of the core support to the grille.

Jim (Intmd8) logged the IAT's when tuning, and there wasnt an issue. I was more concerned about the car running hot, but it never gets above 190*.

Boost is instant.

With C16 and 22#, I would figure over 800 RWHP.

You using BS3? How is the 4L80E controlled?

Although the Air Ride System is not what you are thinking it is, if I slicked it up, and left with 15# of boost, I am sure I could get "3 wheel motion" if not 2
