That would be an expensive mess. While cruising around, have you watched your trans temp? I like where you put your cooler, but I'm wondering how well it works in that location.

I had a plate cooler, but ran out of room with the inter coolers....I routed the trans lines into the radiator cooler. With the plate cooler temps hovered around 150-160 even when I was beating on it a little....now they are in the 190-200 range.....going to have to put the plate cooler back on and abandon the radiator cooler all together...

Engine runs about 185 all the time, so I am not cooling the trans fluid to my liking...

I can't wait....I think I'll follow your lead on the updated supercharger lid...GM is pretty proud of that piece for sure :) Also planning on running a "large" cooling system on the SC.

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:

Cheapest place I found the lid was through Jegs. Comes complete with bolts and sensors....eBay couldn't even beat the price...

T,


No Power Tour this year..........Since Charley talked us into going on the Good-Guys Road Tour.......We lost interest in the Power Tour..........The GG Tour is way better.........The Nomad is ripped apart awaiting parts from a Vendor I bought stuff from ..........Let's just say I used bad Judgement in buying what I thought was a "Engineered" system...........Pretty $ad.......

Not without spending 5-600 for a custom one. I looked for a few weeks, finally settled on these....

No, it's a small cooler I bought from Jegs.....since the reservoirs are so small, I mainly wanted some more fluid capacity...

I'll have to look into that. I did the Cruisin' the Coast two years ago. Much better than the tour, not as much driving and over 7K hot rods..all in one place....
Sucks on the parts...wasn't good old CPP was it?

T,




The GoodGuys Hall of Fame tour is limited to 50 cars.... and the 50 cars from the following year - get first dibs on the next year. It's the best organized best run most fun tour ever. Try to get on it. There's a couple people on it that are sketchy - Lillard being one of them..... otherwise it's a pure hoot.

I think it starts at Dave Kindigs shop this year.
