I'm running into a few problems. There won't be anyway my coolant reservoir will mount in the stock location. Need to figure out how that can be replaced or remounted.

I'd go with non-projected 7's.

That's what I ran before. Those will work for 1000rwhp?

IDK, maybe? You're not going to just install this, and go straight for 1000hp are you? I'd start smaller, and work my way up, reading the plugs & adjusting the tune up etc along the way. But that's just me.

Maybe if I'd already built a bunch of 1000hp setups I'd feel differently...

The last go around I started at 10psi and worked my way up. Ended up at 17 psi with a TVS2300. This time I'm going to try and run it around 20 psi! Pretty much going all out the first time.

Mount is sideway if you can or get a universal overflow tank, there was allot of options when I looked last time. I am doing the same but not there yet.

Where are you finding the universal reservoirs at?
