What can you say about the cooling?
Are you going to do a front breather conversion?
Are you going to replace the stock radiator or maybe tilt it forward or maybe get a shorter custom unit to sit upright behind the intercooler?
You mentioned you want to keep the foglights. If you only cut out the license plate area for air to flow through, will you get enough flow?

I know this is off topic, BUT will someone please tell me what the sensor is right in front of the header in the 4th picture?!?!?! I broke mine off when I installed my LT's so I really need to know what it is so I can replace it. Thanks and great looking kit. Looks sweet

Eh, there are plenty of people running super chargers, and even a bunch on turbo cars that arent even intercooled at all. He'll be definately benifitting from it. Will there be potential for even better heat exchange with more flow? Yes. Will it still do its job and pull some heat out of the intake charge? Yes.

Nothing too notably changed. I've had the cradle in and out about a half dozen more times doing some trimming and shifting of the headers to get some better clearence for the turbo's. Pain in the butt! The fuel tank is out as of today, and I have one of my fab guys working on the new dual intank system. We should have the header situation settled very soon and get the driver side charge pipe done. Fab work is getting close to being done!

Their nice for the first couple weeks, but the damn finger tips get so messed up that I barely use gloves at all anymore.
