Looks good John. I would bet that you are going to pick up a few pounds of boost off of the cog stuff. I know I did when I went to the cog setup verses the 12 rib. I use to have my inlet routed into the fender with the cog but took it off and at this point I am just pulling across the headers :weird: but I did pick up a pound of boost verses the tube. Anyway good luck and you have a great looking car.

Thanks Fazstang. Your setup is running GREAT! Maybe sometime you will share some of your secrets with me :). I will probably try my setup with and without the inlet tubing to see if there is a difference in performance. Which air to water cooler did you go with? This will probably be my next modification. Have any photo's you can send me of your setup? If you do you can email them to me at johngiasi@comcast.net.

Thanks

LOOKS VERY GOOD. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR AN AIR FILTER? WHERE DID YOU GET THE TUBING? I THINK I'LL DO SOMETHING SIMILAR WHEN I GET MY CAR OUT OF STORAGE.

Thanks, STROKER. For the track I won't have any filter but I will have some screen material over the inlet tube at the firewall (1/2" squares) and screen under the plastic cowl inlet (1/4" squares). This will prevent any rocks or other stuff (small children and animals) from getting in. I may just stick with this on the street but might go with some panel type K&N filters under the cowl grille.

John I actually need to take some more up to date photo's. I have quite a few from when I was doing the air to air but nothing with the air to water. I belive that it is a custom built intercooler. I bought it from a guy off of the net. It is suppose to be able to handle 1800hp. It fits really nice under the dash but I had to hack up the cowl area. I am sure as clean as your car is you wouldn't want to do that. Anyway I will try to get some new pics and shoot them your way. Oh by the way I have been following your car for a couple of years now on the net. Mine isn't as clean but for now it is alittle bit faster.......... :teeth: LOL
