im still interested on the non intercooled...i know meth helps with cooling the boost but would there be any loss to not running an intercooler on this with meth being the promary fuel?

dont even try and pretend that this isnt one of the coolest things ever



i dont have that unit yet but it is on the way. i am thrilled with how that turned out. now we need to figure out a way to make the tb's not look so dull and dirty. arron at intakeelbows.com made that for us. he said that he isn't really looking for this type of work but did it for us anyways. said it takes a lot of time compared to a normal elbow. some day i hope to be able to weld aluminum 1/2 that well.

i will post up more pics once it shows and we fit it on the car.

Looks good. Go to the parts store and get some Mag wheel cleaner. It is a mild acid. It will make those TB's look like new again. You will have to remove the grease first. I use the mag cleaner on all non-polished aluminum.

Dang, I need one of those. I didn't know you could put the throttles on the wrong side of a turbo.
I could put my Whipple injectors in it, too.
