I know but would like him @2forme to say it if he wants to. Don't know if he wants it said publicly.

the Robispec measured 2.3" on my ruler, like she said, "my, thats thick"

I havent fired it up yet(waiting on SC oil return parts)but so long as you can get the ac condenser low enough, I'm impressed with the Robispec fit, not sure if I have a v2 or v3 radiator @robispec

I believe we are up to V.2 only. I'm prepared to move the IC to the front a bit to make it fit. Let's see how it all goes. Also clamping down the Evap solenoid lines this week.

You have any idea how much power your car is making now? It should be running like a BEAST! Glad you keep trying and testing parts. One last Q, still on stock fueling system or did you make it a return system?

Send me PM if you don't want to discuss it here.
