Both are a must if you plan on going on the track. Seems odd, I'm doing about 20-21 mpg with mostly city driving (used to be 25 stock). Is your car MT or AT? I did find my mpgs drop initially, but that's because I was having too much fun. I did find myself starting to shift much earlier with the added torque. I'd give it a couple more tanks before calling Edelbrock if it doesn't improve. |

Picked up my car on Saturday after having this kit installed and I immediately questioned the install hours I was charged.
For those out there who have installed this kit at a shop, or shop owners/employees, how many hours were charged for this install? |

Not a shop, just did it in my driveway with a buddy. It took us roughly 7-8 hours. Not counting the headache that was the Ecutek portion.

Can you add me to the list of owners? =) I have had my kit for about a month. Love it. Can't wait to talk more about my experiences with you guys.

JR Dual Radiator/Oil Cooler
Hey all, given the space considerations with the Edelbrock, I held off on an oil cooler as most of the available products either required additional fabrication or some level of compromise.
I ultimately chose to go with the Jackson Racing Dual Radiator/Oil cooler for the following net positives:
Here's a pic displaying the difference in thickness, and the space efficiency of the Dual Radiator/Oil Cooler: Picture displaying multi-louvered fins OEM Crash beam clearance with Edlebrock LTR, AC Condensor, and JR Radiator. The JR Dual Radiator/Oil Cooler fits well with the edelbrock airbox. So well it doesn't appear to be an aftermarket product if you didn't know what to look for: The lines were a bit tricky, as it looked like they wanted to kink. But after playing with the angle, we found a soft bend that facilitated the smooth flow of oil: There's plenty of space for the fan shroud and edlebrock airbox: Once we started the engine up, the lines filled right up without any signs of pressure changes or kinks in the lines: The only part I didn't figure out was the JR cap. It didn't fit so I just kept the OEM cap on. I plan on recording track temps during 86 Cup Buttonwillow on June 4th. The install would have been too much for me alone being a newb with instructions that had zero pop-up pictures for newbs who can't install good. But with CSG Daves guidance the install was very straightforward and makes logical sense. Big thanks to CSG Dave for the install and a CSG Mike for putting up with my Askholeness during my hunt for an oil cooling solution http://counterspacegarage.com/blog/p...-installation/ |

Great to have a real install to confirm fitment.

Can anyone else shed some light on whether they went to a smaller belt when using the 3" pulley? If so what belt, belt length? Last edited by kamikaze7; 05-16-2016 at 03:35 PM. |

I am still on stock pulley, but I dropped down a belt size to help alleviate a recurring issue I had with my belt jump on hard launches or 1-2 shifts.
