Nice Steal...Looking forward to the progress of this and fat albert as well!!

I ordered bends, and a 2000hp a/w ic from frozen boost along with the heat exchanger w/ dual 10" pusher fans, ice box, pump and lines, I installed the 1000cc injectors in the intake I'm pretty much done with mock up and am ready to install the engine/ converter in the truck. I also am having some metal sheered for the catch can and plan to put it in stock battery tray. So stay tuned for that I cut enough aluminum for 3 of these so pm me if you like what you see.. Will be a little like this but not exactly, this is a ice box I made for a customer. The catch can will have dual -10's, -6's, and 1 -6 for a drain, with 2 vented breathers to atmosphere.

Here is the start of the can.. I had the pieces sheered here local, and got the weld in bungs from speed way(local) and spent a couple hours getting to this starting to look like something.. Hope to have it finished tomorrow.

I packed the tank with steel wool and added a baffle behind the inlets to direct it down and through the steel wool. Hopefully to get it to condensate in the tank.

Ive always heard steel wool saturates very quickly and once that happens its less effective than if it wasnt there at all. It may work better with baffles and more surface area for the vapor to condense on.

I mean a lot of baffles, basically as much surface area as you can create in there the better.
