. Don't get me wrong, the guys at AMS are very helpful, and make amazing products. I was quoted about 50-70k$ to do this build and so far I've spent about 20ish. Dyno numbers are right around the corner...I am so excited I can hardly concentrate on work anymore!

Why not custom fab mounts for a small radiator and use a vertical flow IC? The piping would be much shorter and would probably quicken spoolup! Plus, it would lower intake temps since you wouldn't be exposing the piping to all the heat from the exhaust manifold (coated or not)......

Then while bolting the shifter linkage bracket to the transmission we noticed that the shift rod that goes into the transmission may be bent
So we have to get on the phone with Shep to see whats going on with that. We Finally figured out the 4 different spark plugs that we are going to use during tuning. We have a different theory about the EVOs ignition performance with high boost/high horsepower applications. Other than that the engine is fully assembled waiting to go back in. Pics will come soon! Stay tuned.Blake.

This is actually a great idea...

Ordered a vertical flow IC and now we are looking for a rad. Any ideas?

Nice, going the vert IC route. Check with Koyo as they should have every size imaginable. Should have something similar with less width, but slightly more thicker to make up for the volume loss.
