hell, even autozone has 160* t-stats for ls1 engines now
and there is a deal down in the sponsor classifieds, for msd wires,
for 65$ shipped and includes NGK set of 8 plugs for free,
your choice of NGKTR55 or NGKTR6, the TR6, would work great for you
might as well buy new wires along with plugs for your turbo system

I am damn near the point of buying one of these setups and putting it on my car with a TC78 and seeing what it is capable of. I have everything to put a 370 together right now. I see all these threads and they never seem to end. I have seen the kit in person and it is well built for a $750 setup. The welds look nice, the polish isnt gonna last. Then again what do ya expect.

How long do you think I need for the feed line? 24 or 36inchs? Do I also need to include the feed adapter correct?

Also for the Drain, is there a big difference between the Econo or the premium kit?

do you have to put the radiator vertical on this for a TC78? that's what I was looking to go with when I went with this. Or are pusher fans fine?

Everyone is using pusher fans for this setup. Some are doing 1 pusher and 1 puller.
