Thanks Guys. Well we are only running a GT35R turbo and pushing to get iit into the 10.8-10.9 range on MPE Alky Kit and Pump Gas with Harry Anderson behind the computer. After doing the new engine and management and over the last season with tuning and fixing problems. We got 11.9 out of it on 13 lbs of boost on pump gas. We should be ready by the time the gates open for testing and this is mostly a street driven truck.

Just wanted to let you guys see the kind of work that comes out of this shop even though it may take a little longer to get things from Keith it is only because if it ain't the way he would want it on his car then it gets redone til its perfect.

If your talking about the air filter pipe, well then that was a 5minute fix for right until we go back and get ready for tuning then we are stuffing a 4" x 14" filter right behind the fron bumper so it isn't were it will stay but we needed something for right now until we go back for some tuning.

Basically right where the old intercooler was will be the filter. Drives in the shine only.

Thanks for all the comments.

Re: My awesome new Intercooler

That looks like a beautiful piece, and very similar to what I am planning for my truck

Mind if I ask what core did they use, and what are the dimensions? Know the CFM rating off hand? also, if it's not too much of a PITA, I'd love to see a shot of the front end of the truck head on

Well it looks like he used a GN Type unit now he has the center section and then welds on the inlet and outlet tanks so he can always change the direction if he needs too, It measure 17 x 12 x 4 that is the core not with the tanks. All the pipeing was cut and welded for every turn and angle needed so it is all smooth flow. This intercooler will be big enough to take me into the 9's if i wanna go there but right now we are only shooting for 10.8-10.9 with my turbo i have on it. I will get you a front end shot once i get the fender wells fabbed and fitted and someother things remounted Trans cooler, coolant catch bottle, and wiring for the electric fan.

The problem with selling this as a kit will be all the modding needed for the front radiator support would have to be done by the buyer!

Same intercooler installed and fitted $1650.00 ( compare to size of RPM's for $1200.00)
He is also making headers 1 1/2 tubing with thick 1/2 flanges $ 1495.00
also welds a tab on the turbo mount so it attaches to block flange very strong.
He does all the work himself, so it does take longer but the result is perfection.

My old intercoooler is still FOR SALE this unit is good for mid 11's to mid 12's and it worked great looks greats fits in stock location and pipes up through the drivers fender well and up around upper intake and into the throttle body. You may need a spacer on your clutch fan i run a electric fan so it works just fine.
Here some pics more pics in the Parts for sale section.
Asking $1100.00 shipped with BOV or $950.00 Shipped w/o BOV

not to burst anybody's bubble here but try to get him to make you a set of headers. i had a set paid for for 6 months before i had to file a lawsuit with him to get my damn money back. i'm glad you have had good luck with him..maybe being local to him has made your experience easier.

i'm not trying to bash keith but trying to make other owners aware of my experiences so the don't get cought up in the same mess.

and if anybody needs to verify my complaint just ask ed or harry.

Yep,
I am aware he has had some angry people with him because of time and not getting there stuff done fast enough. The first time i ask him to do something for me he told me flat out 6-8 weeks min. Which was no big deal because i was in the process of building a motor and other stuff. This time here i just scheduled an appt and dropped it off and he did it all for me in about 3 weeks. If there is anything i can do to help someone out with him i will do my best to get the answers and prices or etc.
