Those were the plugs he put in the car when the engine was built! Tuning, track, all the dyno pulls etc. lol

Another show Lady- Why does your car say Corvette on the engine? We have a Corvette and your car doesn't look like one. LMFAO

Finally took it out yesterday and finished the street tuning. On the highway it cruises at 75mph/ 2700rpm which is good.

Still up in the air if the radiator cools enough just getting air from the inter cooler.

Playing with the idea of cutting holes in the top radiator support piece and put scoops to ram the air in from the hood openings.

Should work good.

All the air goes through the intercooler , then the tranny cooler/ radiator. No air damn under the car. Scoops will pull in air after the intercooler. Right now it didn't go over 210. The fan will pull it to 190.

Radiator and intercooler touch under there. No room for air to get through.
Remember,the radiator is moved forward a lot.

As far as the tranny cooler goes. I have seen guys mount them horizontal underneath the car with a fan attached. Didnt know if that would be a option for you to free up some room up front?
