    Maybe dumb question, but why dual intercoolers? Or am I seeing it wrong?

    Another dumb question. Why is the alt on the bottom?

    i dont like the filter neck spacers needed to run the W body neck with the OD crank pulley

    the F body neck clears perfectly and with the rear dricetrain we dont need to worry about the cv shaft since the rear wheels dont turn

    besides once i finish another couple remote filter blocks it'll get those

    I'm using the spacer on mine, no leaks, and its been on there for a year. When I first got the OD balancer I didn't use the spacer and omg getting the belts on/off was a huge pain in the ass.
