I am focusing testing the MagnaChargers and don't have the time right now to test another head design against the L92's. I have a meet in Vegas coming up and need to get this together and tuned before it. I also figured that there was enough data out there for the cathedral port Style heads already. I have a very similar build to a few others here that have 122's with those heads.

I picked up the Drag Radials this morning.

They are MB 17X8.5 Wheels and 295/45r17 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial. Mounted they are 27" tall and 11" wide, they should hold for a little while. These are the new ones with the different tread pattern.

I am going to be sending out all the pulley's next week. I had to wait until tear-down because we werent sure if they were different then what they have. I know that the power steering pulley is deffinately different. I will keep you posted.

I was able to get started on the tear down today for a couple of hours. I got the front all taken off and the Radiator/AC/Intercooler removed for easy access.

I am gonna watch this build closely...just picked up my TBSS on sat...already planning mods - but nothing will happen until someone else does all the R&D and then I'll do the work myself this time! I'm learning the hard way, but learning none-the-less

It should gain another 100-150 RWHP over the way it just was.

Yes, that is a transmission cooler at the bottom right. It gets air from the brake duct in the front bumper. The transmission temps have not hit anywhere close to 200 degree since I installed it.
