^^Is this the one everyone is running?

YES !

popo, Yes thats a QUICK way to cool down a FMIC. but a waste for $40+ to fill a nitrous bottle just to spray down your fmic.
That $ would be better spend on a water / meth injection kit to help cool the intake charge. MOST people just use washer fluid as it contains alcohol also.


OP, you could always go air to water with a ice tank in the back also. As for Tranny I would deff. go th400 over a glide if you plan to do any kinda street driving / cruising.
Even then Im looking for a used gearvenders OD unit myself just to pick up some extra gear for long trips if ever needed.

I would love to have a gearvender, just not in my budget right now. Are all the ebay intercoolers pretty much the same? Iv'e seen a couple different companys selling them and they all look the same.

Ya a GV isnt in my budget right now either. Id like to put a T56 in my car but It would cost me just as much as a GV unit to "BUILT" a good t56.
So I'll stick with my FTI Th400

Yes all the ebay fmic's are basically the same. Find the size you want and then the best deal on price and shipping.

not really this is a 100% street car. the heat exchanger makes it so you dont have to run ice all of the time

What did it dyno? And what were Iats with no ice?

this winter im rerouting my cold pipes to go over the radiator instead of going under. i also cut out both radiator supports and put them in so its a bolt in round tube ( so i can unbolt the radiator supports to pull the engine right out of the front). im also repowdercoating the whole engine and ceramic coating the exhaust and wraping the exhaust too. im painting the engine bay why everything is out. ( i figured i could paint the engine bay black with clearcoat for 30 or 40 bucks so i figured i better do it.) so all of these pics are from last year in a couple months it will look totally diffrent.
