Im also in the process of doing this, I picked up a kit that was designed for a SBC and im running an L92, it was all brand new and got everything complete for to cheap I felt. I hear the compression from a L92 is lower than a typical LS3, is this true? Useful information from a lot of smart guys on here. Who builds a nice set of Turbo Headers, I heard OBX from John 510 and Is there anyone in Oklahoma who can help set it up? I think I would like to finish the car and drive it before I blow the motor up but no problem in having the info advance and going ahead and placing the orders.

Hot pipe? You mean no intercooler? There's n air to water inside the manifold

You could say it works lol

Ahhh....very nice. Kind of an air to air fan myself, now, but that's only because I have an 04 cobra as a daily driver....can you say hear soak with manifold mounted intercooler?! Your water to air mounted elsewhere than my factory bumper mount on my cobra is prolly far more efficient. Different but well done!

No heat soak issues here... We use a chiller that utilizes the ac compressor and freon in conjunction with our water tank to cool the water on this street car. During hot rods drag week on a 95 degree day we logged 67 degree intake temps

Cheers

This was my stock 98 motor twin turbo kit 417 motorsports built as well. We did this back in 2004, made 575 rwhp till 2008 when I pulled the motor out and sold it for my built one (really bringing back the past here lol). As long as the tune is right they will last.

If you leave the stock motor and compression just be sure to be conservative on timing and rpm. That is what will kill a stock motor.

I sent you an email on that intercooler. Let me know the price of the core if you have it available.

I ended up calling AES and having them build up a 390 that should suit my application, a little bit of overkill.. Now it's on to figuring out what to do for an intercooler!
