Sweet cars...

Would love to do that to a Nova! Was the LET rebuilt to standard spec?

the intercooler end caps dont make that much difference, at the end of the day it wont effect the car much, infact i bet there would be little or no difference if i done a back to back test! is rather have 200mm extra core than a slightly more flow efficient end cap!

yup slam panel is bolt in! got to use bonnet pins tho

why did you use the Garret T3 rather than a KKK turbine.

I'd remove the blitz filter as well. it's not great at filtration.

whats the pressure drop on the IC?

used a T3 to get me started and into the 12's m8, then im going straight for a T34, there is a much lesser spec astra with autronic and a T3 and that made just over 300hp atw iam realy limited with the t3 to around that figure. i will prolly build a new bottom end at some point to go towards 400hp, but for now my only going is to run in the 12's at pod.
not sure on pressure drop but almost all the big power fords use the same end tanks as myne on rs 500 i/c so if they are good enough for 600hp they will be fine for me
