Nice build. Looks awefully familier. How come you did the 3" intercooler instead of the
4"?

The 3" intercooler is what came with Joels kit , i dont see no option for a 4" from him.I think the intercooler and radiator is what took the longest to get in.And with all the other people complaining about still waiting on stuff from Joel, i was lucky enough to kit all of my parts.

The guys are going to pull the converter and send it into Precision Industries to check the converter out.They seem to think they can make the converter work for my application.We will see what they can do.

No the core support blocks your view. They are sloped tanks like any normal core.

Hopefully chris can get some sponsors (capital one, visa platnium) and get a ams1000 and a 430in lsx motor, also a cage!!! lol

With 430in might as well jump up to the fi-98x turbo.Dont forget the parachute.I could run around michigan with an indiana shops name on the back of my car.lol

Everyone has seen my up close except me.Dang.Hopefully that converter comes back ready to take the abuse of the turbo setup.
