    Ok thanks for the help. The Holley was already installed a few years ago. I hade it running pretty good, now they have new software and boost control so I got to figure out how to load the new software.

    Are you on FAcebook? I saw a cool cam sync for 9.5s. Maybe I'll just screenshot it and post here

    You can also get a 36-1 wheel and pickup off of diyautotune for like $60 in pretty sure.

    I don't see any easy way to mount a 36-1 wheel workout spending $350 or more on a kit. I mean how do you even mount the diyautotune one?

    Can't mount it between the balancer and the crank pulley?

    not sure, I'll have to look into it. Not sure if I want to tackle the conversation right now when it ran fine how it is. I'll look more into it tomorrow when I get out in garage. Really wanted to get it running this week while I'm off but this radiator fitting problem I'm sure set me back a few full days of work.

    Made some progress today, spent more time looking and was able to move some wires out of the way and free up some extra space to move the radiator over toward driver side so now it fits!!! Glad I didn't have to cut core support, too much extra work. So then I made up some upper radiator brackets and an air damn of sorts to cover the big hole on the passenger side of the radiator. That way while driving the air has to go through the rad and not around it. Got my catch can in so plumed that up. Got my hose and hose ends ordered for the coolant lines. Intake installed, intercooler hung and started on cold side. Should make some good progress tomorrow too. I think I could be ready to start it up tomorrow but got to wait on coolant hose and fittings so maybe next week.

    Got some coolant parts today so got excited I was that much closer to getting it running. Then I head out to garage and I notice something is wrong, one of the damn fittings does not have any threads!!!! Another set back. Summit won't send me a new one till they get this one back. I don't think they even believed me on the phone lol, I told them I'm not crazy and can send them a picture.

    Those CO2 bottle setups are wicked for consistent boost control.
