Have not taken my car to the track yet. But I'm hoping for mid to low 13s. Headers arnt to bad to do front goes in easy, and the back ones its best if you drop the rear sub frame with a jack sporting it of coarse. And the slide the header up from under the car.and make sure when you putting the crossover pipe on that you leave the front and rear headers loose. Then tighten everything up. And do.t forget some copper rtv for the gaskets.

Should have cut the bumper support to move that IC Rad up, looks like its gonna scrape. Other than that, looks prety legit.

mine doesnt.

stock ride height though. With ebaichs it might be a problem.

also, have you closed the hood in those pictures?

Asking because the flex piece doesnt look bent sideways like mine does...

Did you fill your IC with Dexcool?

**jim97regalgs** · 06-30-2011

its deff a big butt dyno improvement. and i dont have bumper supports in the front or rear. LOL that's where i wanted it to sit. it still sits above the sub-frame so i am good to go with clearance.

Well thats good, Id hate to tap my new FMHE coming out a driveway. Id loose my mind. Did the install go smoothly? Did you use RTV+ the garlock gaskets? My IC install is soon.

**jim97regalgs** · 06-30-2011

yeah i thought about using distilled water and water wetter but i was not sure. and yes i used rtv with my gaskets as per zzp's instructions

**matt5112** · 06-30-2011

I think you should fab up some shrouding.

Right now i'm sure your ECT's will sky rocket and your post blower IAT's wont be as low as they could be.

actually i have not seen a change with my coolant temps. i am running a 160 drilled t-stat.

**matt5112** · 06-30-2011

fan settings?

Did you have the shrouding before the install?

Do you like to play Green light= WOT redlight = stop?
