The core is surrounded in a custom housing which looks pretty trick.
I'll post it on Monday when I'm back in the office.

How many cores did you end up using? What length? Do you have any data on pressure drops? Temperature drops, etc...

Thanks for the kind words guys.
Intercooler.
When I saw the cores they had 3 or 4 for mock up. Maybe around a foot long. I'm sure we have dimensions, and other data. I'll should be able to get it but I have to wait until everyone is back from power tour. I may also have some in the press release.
Power wise we are way past the limit of the blower. A new larger design is in the works which will be nice. It's still impressive for it's size. Torque is just insane in this car. We tried to chassis dyno it today but it kept blowing the tires off once it went into boost. We should have RWP numbers soon.

The new fenders and wing delete option really make the car. Maybe someone at GM will notice.

I have some pics of the engine build. As for other pics the car was at our other building so I wasn't able to get any. I'll check if they have any. Originally Posted by MrQuick

We bought the car with 4000 miles from a dealer so we got a bit of a deal

that is by far my favorite late-model GTO. The license plate should read M5-KLR. Absolutely love the flared fenders and quarters.

Methanol or Methanol/water mix can be used in boosted applications to control detonation. Methanol has an octane rating of about 114 and it also has a cooling effect on the intake charge.
