      Exactlly what I was hinting at ;)

      There are a ton of people who think you just bolt this on and it makes power. I only wanted to make sure it was in the thread here so people can see.

      I actually had a kid come and ask for a "E85 tune". I asked him when he planned on converting to E85 and he said he wasn't he just wanted the tune because it makes more power

      So I was just kind of pushing for you to say it was the added timing that got the power. People search these forums and what we know as second nature gets funny.

      Awesome results. I'd like to get your motor specs as my next motor will be something similar.

      Man that looks wicked! I had to reply and tell you that....
      I added a kit on my old mustang. I used one designed for the GN's and it worked well when adding timing. I had the D1sc PC. However I was missing the extra 241cui.

      Great build and I love the car in the garage as well

      Not to change the subject(but I am) Have you seen a difference in that hood mounted electric fan? I thought about doing something similar with my fender vents.............. Nice work by the way that $h!t is clean.

      When I added the electric fan in the hood and machined the centers of the factory hood ornaments, I saw about a 5 degree drop in temp. When I added the vents in the hood, one is actually a fresh air inlet for the ProCharger and both let hot air out from under the hood extremely well, I saw an additional 5-7 degrees of temp drop. On a cool day, say 70-75 degrees (that's cool here in Florida) the car runs at about 175 degrees all day. When we get hotter days in the 90-95 degree range, the car runs at 190-195. Even when I drive the car hard, it rarely gets over 200. If it ever does, it means I have been severely running it hard with constant amounts of boost, but it immediately come right back down to operating temperature when I am done pounding on it.

      It took a long time to get the cooling on the car right. The 2 major items that made an unbelievable difference were the Ron Davis cross flow radiator, with built in shroud and 2 - 2300cfm Spal Fans and a Meizere 55GPM electric water pump. I would never build another car without using these 2 items for cooling.

      5-7 degrees temp drop is no joke. That is the first time I have seen a fan mounted like that. I was thinking about utilizing the fender vents on my car to evacuate the engine heat. I found a couple of small 6" fans used to run off solar power for small boat hulls, so its still DC 12v power.
