The TA is back... too nice man. I know you are leaving out all the little headaches and BS that came up but its definately worth it after seeing the *nearly* completed project. I was remembering when you brought that car home stock down to the RoadHugger tires so it could be your DD... that didnt last long. Rides this weekend.

I have a couple of questions about your radiator setup.

What brand and size?
What fans and shroud?
How much did you cut?
Did you cut the bottom support?

Its the standard Griffin rad that most use, the fans adn shroud are a flexlite package. I cut ~2" off, did not modify the bottom at all.

edit: fan and shroud pn FLX-220

it fired up today... everything looks good

I need to swap the wires on the cam sensor katech harness and it will be ready for a tune.

Izzy: of course Im tuning it Mike at ICON has the tuning cable and I haven't been able to get in touch with him to snag it back. It will probably have to wait till next weekend now.
