You should really, really consider chargecooling (w2a) over a2a. Mid engine cars are begging to be w2a! Seriously. You can get what you need at frozenboost.com. Or check with Whodeanie, he has a few w2a parts that we can use on my build.

I'll check that site out. W2A is the way I'll probably go.

w2a is 4x more efficient than a2a so you don't have to go overboard on the size of the intercooler or heat exchanger.
Something like this would be a good start. Do upgrade the pump to the Bosch Cobra pump though, its a $69 upgrade. (this is their sister site)

Long ago while still working at a Pontiac dealership in Halifax and when the Fiero and Sunbird were new on the lot , I thought why not that engine in that car. GM missed again. With gas at $1.45 a litre (4.5 litre's in a US gallon) it still seems like they missed the boat. But with my toy, I will keep my sound, torque, and the oh, " you have a Cadillac V8 in that small car "!!!!

That's the one I'm going to order. I could mount the radiator and fan behind the side scoop on the drivers side.
Yes, the hole in the hood is just the half moon section above the radiator cut out and wire mesh glued in place.

The Formula is looking great! I love that brake setup, what's up with your lug nuts though?
