What do you expect for $300 glad to see you are fixing it right. It would have left it. Because right now it would be in body shop jail for years if not decades.

so I finally got the rear window down
and now the latches are stuck.... brilliant.
I didn't waste my day (well, I suppose that depends on whether or not anyone thinks a 427 has value - picked up one of those)
windows out
and it's not as bad as I thought... all of this is good enough that it's going to get POR 15, dynamat, and a carpet....
I was worried about these corners - and outside of the non-existent spare tire carrier (big deal), this is well-within saveable

Now all this said, I'd still go 86/87 intake and header system. Those hot air systems suck in more ways than just having no intercooler. I'd consider using a stock 86/87 intercooler for handling the daily driver needs of cooling down the charge and add a nitrous system to the inlet (great for spool by the way) or directly on the intercooler face to really give it a chill at the track.Central TEXAS Sleeper

My first turbo was a draw-through-carb system on a 3.8 from a Regal in a Skyhawk.... I know suck intimately. I read the CI link - and that's interesting, but they're using a flood-the-floor method and evaporative cooling. It's really an interesting idea but I can only imagine the damage that could happen if there was a backfire through the intake.... I plan on a dry NOx injector in the back of the plenum. I am going to divorce the turbo from the throttle body, thus solve several issues.... who knows, I may do it the way you suggested earlier - but fully bench-racing this before is still a good idea.... If I can overcome the issues, I think it would work really well for me (meaning, I've never run NOx and I want to try it) best of all there wouldn't be an intercooler hanging under the front bumper suggesting that all is not what it seems...Doing it all wrong since 1966

next time I need one of those BangShift signs to be hanging in the background that is an amazing improvement to your shop... what's the R value of it?Doing it all wrong since 1966
