changed my water to air intercooler out to a 750 cfm unit .i thought when i ordered the first one it said ti was good for for 450 hp , that was my misread and it said 450 cfm .new unit flows much better ,feels like the top end of the rev range is stronger now .it is physically a lot bigger , have to run a scan to see if it cools the charge better .i ran a scan with the first air to water unit with and without the water meth system hooked up .without water meth i had KR of 7* .with water meth running i had KR of 0* .the water meth makes a big difference in my setup , even with the cooler intake temps with the water to air intercooler .

I hear you, I haven't completed all my intended updates/mods but after 4 years of not driving the car, when I got it to a condition that I was happy with over the summer I said to hell with continuing and decided that I would enjoy driving the car until it snowed...was looking forward to taking some nice fall drives but now I've got no clutch pedal pressure at all (clutch started to engage with the pedal right at the bottom then no pressure at all and I hear a popping sound when I press on the clutch pedal) so I guess I won't be enjoying those fall drives after all...what a kick in the pants! Sorry, just a little upset!
Regarding your setup, what inlet temps do you see with our current fall weather temps? Do you notice an increase in power, throttle response?

i havent ran a scan in a while but it feels a little stronger overall but like any car i have owned , it uses more gas in the cold weather .i have to add some antifreeze to the intercooler setup or take it off the road soon .i havent decided yet .good to hear from you ,have a good fall season......

i am still driving the car since there has been no snow or salt yet .just got back from the wreckers where i picked up a complete centre consul and skeleton , shifter and cables and other odds and ends for 50 bucks .dont know how much i will use but i need the shifter and cables to install Roger Thelin's transmission kit that i bought over the summer . i am going to do a cradle drop to make that job easier and when the engine is out of the way i am going to re route all the hoses to hide them from view .it is warmer than normal for november so i might still be driving right in to december this year .unexpected after the cold summer we had .
