heh, actually, it will be drawing power during the chilling phase, since the A/C clutch will be engaged until WOT, but then again, once the light turns green, it should probably be ALL WOT till the end, but by launch time, it will basically be running off residual cold.

You can cool it during the burnout for launch off.

Decided on going with a different wastegate, and sheesh this thing is a beast!

that would be because he's working on mouth cancer... and becasue it's gives us a sense of scale... lol

[BlackJack]

uh, yeah, the sense of scale would be the correct answer

[BlackJack]

forgot one, here's a pic of the actual liquid/air intercooler, which I believe was the original topic title (sorry)

update??

[BlackJack]

sorry, been busy heckling on the forums and forgot to post here. No major modifications since last update. Just tedious little things here and there like fabricating clips and adapters for the oversized injectors and what-not. Will post again when there's a significant jump in progress

[BlackJack]

well, more bad news. Seems I've been trying to avoid paying a mint for a custom 10 point roll cage, and decided to try and buy a pre-made kit for another vehicle of similar dimensions. Found out it will cost nearly as much to modify a kit, and will still have to pay for NHRA certification.

Found a local that will make a custom cage for my 4-door for a minimum of $700 bones, or more if it gets more complex than he expected. Guess that the cage project may be on hold for a couple more months while we proceed with tranny upgrades

Life goes on. In other news, going with a modified 3500 UIM, which will bolt on to the 3400 LIM with minimal adjustments. The stock 3400 UIM tb neck will only allow porting up to 66mm max. The 3500 UIM STARTS OUT at 65mm tb neck before porting, so that should match up nicely to the 70mm TB I picked up.
