hey pugs, I just think that the newest GM optisparks are worse than ever. I've seen alot of them come apaart, and IMHO the metal piece is coming off the plastic rotor. I've had two break and both times it trashed the optical section (the disc is very fragile).. I'm not turning big RPM at all, 6500 is where the limiter is set..

Chris got the mounting tabs welded onto the intercooler and has almost completed the ducting.

Pics as soon as the ducting is done.

Email Mbell@griffinrad.com for prices, Melissa handles sales. If you can find them a distributor and could coordinate a GP the early guys might get a break.

We ordered some silicone couplers from Sound Performance, we will take pics once we have those.

Do you guys know if that setup will work on a 93 LT1 Z-28? My friend has an F1 procharger and thinks he is blasting through the ATI intercoolers.

Geoff, this Griffin is designed to work on all 4th gens.

The dimensions are:

4.59 x 13.85 x 30. That's 30 from inlet to outlet.

That ATI sheetmetal intercooler has maxed out by Kurt at Wheel to Wheel on a F1 383 LS1, they only got 22 psi out of it, and they had 27 going in.
