Hopefully getting the intercooler mounted this week (since I won't be able working 30 hours of OT) and I am going to right now to modify the power steering bracket to push it out further. This week I should also have the new bracket for the alternator made also.

Looking for some insite here from you guys.

I am currently working out the radiator with Howe Racing of Michigan. I have a couple of options available to me right now for my radiator/intercooler configuration and I am wondering what you guys think.

Option 1:

Traditional intercooler on top and radiator at angle underneath method.

Pros: more uniform look (which really doesn't play into my decision)
Cons: Small radiator due to limited space, possible heat soak from radiant heat from radiator to intercooler.

Option 2:

Flipping the conventional radiator/IC setup around so the radiator is mounted horizontal. This would allow for better flow to the intercooler (radiator will have fans and shrouds to direct airflow). It would also allow for a wider core and a double pass if desired. Another benefit would be that the coolant routing would be simplified. Either way the piping is about the same length.

What do you guys think? I'm leaning towards option 2.

Please note that the pictures are just kind of thrown together and nothing is adjusted how it will be when done so it will look much cleaner when it is all said and done.

Well I made my decision and the radiator is on order. Should start being made late next week and here sometime around late November (because of Thanksgiving).

Only cost $320 for the custom setup.

Rick Yancer and the guys at Howe Racing are the $hit and are a pleasure to deal with. This is the second time they have done a radiator for me and they have done one for my friend everytime he has switched things around on his car and needed a different radiator setup. He is on his 3rd custom radiator from them and each radiator is amazing quality and craftsmenship which is why I trust them to do this right for me.

That is what I did in the end. I worked with Rick at Howe Racing to figure out what is exceptable and I should have a good working design now that will be effective and look clean.

Option one would have been cutting it close. I am still going to have to do some good work with ducting on option 2 just to ensure that I get the proper air flow but I don't see that being an issue.

It took a bit of work to get the design down so that the huge -16an fittings for the water inlet/outlet for the radiator are located in positions in which they will have clearance but we managed.

Come tax return time I will be purchasing a UTEC and finishing my fuel system.

You need to get some vids of that bad boy up!

I'm getting close to done I can say that much. Still got a bunch to go but it is getting there. The final tweaking of components is what is going to be time consuming but I will be able to get that done quickly. It has been the designing and creating everything to fit and work together that has been time consuming.

Some small updates:

-8 rib belt is on the way and should be here by the middle of the week
-All spacers are sized and complete for the supercharger mounting and clear the belt

-I have decided to make a bypass valve using the vortech bypass valve guts. The main reason behind doing this.... is.... well.... because I can I have completed the mounting flange (which looks much cleaner than the stock Vortech flange IMO) and have the material for the body on order.

The bypass valve should look similar to this when I am done:

-Alternator Bracket is also made to push the alternator forward 14mm.
