well another day of project Hooptie
Looks play a big deal for myself only because i work in a shop and my customers dont know much about what I do or how i do things but most anyone can see good workmanship... I am not 100% happy with my truck at this point just because I think i should re think my pressure pipe on the drivers side to make sure its a perfect 90 degree angle its down about 15 degrees now... I did update a few pics guys but i will take some better ones of the cooler and lines tomarrow with a digital camara .... The top mount intercooler is pretty good idea I know everyone has seen the A to W intercoolers on the side and loop out and back to the TB .. its my personal Favorite.... what can i do in the bumper area?? I need a Denalli front bumper ( white please ) so i can expose the IC more

Full-Race in Phoenix, AZ built the schedule 40 304L headers... I built the charge pipes / brackets and had HPC coat everything. GHL Motorsports in Tempe, AZ built the cross-over pipe and down adaptor pipe to the Corsa cat-back.
The intercooler is a $200 ebay special... 12x24x4. I couldn't be more happy with it. Tuning in 95F ambients at 10AM in the morning I never saw more than 107F for IAT's after a couple of romps. Also, my intercooler does not cause ANY, and I mean ZERO, coolant temp issues where it is positioned. The truck runs as it did, coolant temp wise as last summer with just a Magnuson heat exchanger and stock tranny cooler up front. I did upgrade and move the tranny cooler below the intercooler with its own fan. I haven't seen tranny temps above 200F yet... after at least an hour of city traffic. And today it was was 114F on my rear view mirror temp.

Congrats on a well put turbo kit.
So, it's not a race kit by saying "full race kit".
It's very similar to Livernois turbo kit. Any difference you can tell from Liver's. Is your motor stock?
