I'd just go back to the 1970 GTO hood with twin snouts because I'm unoriginal like that. Or, if you want to continue to go with a cross breed idea, what about using the twin snouts off an early 70's formula? Good luck with the decision, Andrew.

It has been a while since I have made progress on the GTO. Over the weekend I was hanging out with a friend of mine from Chicago and he was busting my balls about not having done already. He isn't wrong.

The mailman dropped off the new Tick Performance one piece o-ring for their intercooler (they also fit Holley HiRam and LoRam intakes) this morning, so it was the perfect opportunity to do something productive.

The intake lid is on for good now.

Over the winter I also ordered these grommets from SpearTech. I was going to do something fancy, but I think I am going to keep it simple.

Apparently I robbed the silicone coupler and clamps for the Cougar :facepalm:

I was going to do fancy stuff with the harness, but I am going to keep it simple. I really want this thing running and driving before the summer.

Thanks Marty! I appreciate the kind words.

I am looking forward to seeing how the Tick Performance intercooler holds up and performs on a street car. I have been contemplating using one for my Procharger upgrade, but I am worried about how it will hold up over time. In my limited time doing research, I have only seen them used on race cars.

It's a very well built unit and their new ones are even better. They also have a new ultra low profile version with its own billet lid.
