Here's a teaser pic... If all goes well I'll have it tuned on Saturday. Then I might fill you guys in on what the setup is!

Looks interesting. That a Vortech? What kind of radiator are you using? Looking forward to the results!

No, not a Vortech. It's a ProCharger, although extremely custom.

That's a BeCool radiator.

I'm not going to say a whole lot until I have it tuned and know that everything is going to work out right, but let's say that the only things ProCharger are the head unit itself, and the Race Valve.

I know there's quite a bit with your setup you are trying to keep hush hush. But can you say what boost level you are expecting?

Got any pics on how you made your bracket for the alternator and yet still retained ps? I just noticed that. Freaking sweet!
