    I have always considered an IC as a last mod. being in florida heat.... I dont want issues if the IC pump were to fail or start leaking. If you do cam and other flow mods you dont have to worry about an IC pump failing. Im also one to go overboard too. that is why Im gonna be running: Topswap on Ported blower, ported LIM gasket matched to Ported heads with better valves, L76 springs, possibly light weight retainers and push rods, Headers, full exhaust. Tuning and starting with a 3.8 and prob dropping to a 3.6. but heck with the 3.8 pulley and all those mods I prob could run 87 octane all day every day

    It's funny you addressed this, I was going to program a flow sensor and temp sensor into one of the intercooler hoses to monitor constant flow. EE ftw
