Thanks for the reply Oakley. I was actually debating on tapping mine on the front of the pan. Might go that route.

Been waiting on a few parts so decided to throw the new tranny cooler on. Hopefully this keeps the temps down when hauling my boat this summer...





Also did the corvette servo swap. Should get the intercooler mounted tomorrow...

Nice list of mods. The issues w the on3 are plug wires and pipe fitment. It you can get around those you'll be good.

I'd move the Trans cooler either up as high as possible in the middle or off to the side a bit so the air hits it directly instead of through the IC first.

Thanks for the reply Choda..I might play with it some more and try to find a better spot for the intercooler. I'm going to start running the pipe tomorrow and hopefully have it all buttoned up by the end of this weekend. Any recommendations on plug wires? I remember reading a thread on here and someone saying they had some good luck with a set they bought from napa.

No idea on which ones fit around that manifold. Check my spark plug wire test thread for the best wires.

You can always mount that Trans cooler in the bumper slot too.

doing it right the first time will save you head aches later.

Is that a -10 x 3/8 or 1/2
