This is such a clean car and build. You did a great job keeping things clean and factory looking. I'm just as amazed at how clean it was before you started.

Thanks,

Would I go supercharged again....yes..
Was it worth the hassle trying to fit everything under the hood of this little Nova....yes..
Would I pick a bigger car next time....yes......probably a 3rd gen Nova......

As nice as 3rd gens are.....It won't be a pretty as this one!

So after driving and logging for a while, I was having several issues that needed sorting out. Maybe it was me overthinking things or whatever, but they were bugging me none the less. Won't go into all the details.

The main thing was high intake air temps....up around 160. Probably due to several things, inter cooler/lid too small, pump, reservoir too small, cramped engine compartment etc....

Sooo....I made several changes...the biggest one was installing a larger inter cooler system, changing to the ZL1 lid, and adding a larger reservoir....All those things apparently fixed the issue, as now my temps are down around 120 degrees, and I am not seeing as much timing getting pulled on the scanner...I'll call it a win and look into changing up the air intake to add a fresh air box under the fender later on.......enough blabbing, onto the pictures...

Larger inter cooler system. Stacked two coolers this time instead of one..

And finally, ZL1 cover. The new lid fit with no issues, but the cover touched the hood ever so slightly. A little trimming on the ribs of the hood and we are good to go...

Almost forgot. Put 18's on the front as well....

Have almost 3k on it now, and everything appears to be working as planned...

T,

Tom...... Awesome that you were able to get the "heat" thing sorted out. The car looks great..... I bet it is a handful to drive! :)

Thanks, You sir will find out soon enough....LOL....yes, it is radical to say the least now that I am getting it all dialed in. Been tuning on the transmission and learning quite a bit about HP tuners. I have it now to where I can literally shift the trans with my foot at part throttle driving....WOT is a whole other universe..... :geezer:

T,

Freak'in Awsum !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Ken....you doing the Power Tour this year? If so are you taking the Nomad?

T,

Very cool ride. Congrats.

Very cool. What trans are you running?
