Absolutely overkill from front to back, and all on a 2nd gen, I like it a lot. The engine, the chassis work, the wheels, just killer all around. Can't wait to see it tearing up some pavement.

I also like that you're planning on doing different things with it, too, we set that goal with ours, and while it made a lot of things much more difficult I'm extremely glad we did. Went on Drag Week last September, now spending the winter getting ready for some autocross and track days, and hitting the Texas Mile in March. It's a sickness

The transmission isn't purchased yet. I have a few ideas I have been tossing around and I know what my #1 pick is but if something better comes along before I buy it I will get that instead. the tunnels is big enough to fit a turbo 400 and a gear vendor wich would probably be the biggest thing in there. When I do the purchase I will let everyone know but its still up in the air. Its just hard to get a manual tranny that can handle that much torque and be reliable so....

As far as rad or maybe rads in this case, I have talked with Ron Davis about making 3 to get them in the space I need them to fit. I'm going to try to figure another way, but to keep my intercooler where it is and get the cooling I would need for silver state I either change the lower tube on the intercooler or install multiple rads. There isn't a lot of room between the intercooler pipes.

Maybe you already said, but why didn't you have the inlet and outlet come out the sides of the intercooler?

That way there'd be more room for a radiator.

The bottom one can be moved wich was what I was kinda indicating earlier, the top one has to stay. The top one coming out the side would mean lowering the intercooler to clear the hood and it wouldn't have the air that it will get now. I had some other initial plans trying to think outside the box, but if it doesn't work I will have to move that lower inlet. You can see in this photo how the intercooler is making maximum use of its 'big smile'. This photo was taken before I had the intake lowered so I allready have to have the upper tube changed.
