damn thats clever...i want all 3!!! but like always you guys convinced me to go a different way i wont get the ssic

Its because we dont want you to be disappointed like you probably will be if you went with a SSIC and not the S2...

thats why you have us...

true this isnt the first time youve all steered me clear of disappointment

Short stack and rockers were a disappointment for me. But VS cam and full Intercooler was way different.

So I'm in the middle of putting on my fmhe and it seems the like the bottom air dam is not going back on with the front mount. Am I just dumb, or what? Lol

why not just buy the S2 IC of the guy on here he has a complete set up for $800 shipped

I tucked and cut one in the past for it to retain all the plastic pieces. A few were smaller, but all were there.

just leave the air dam out all it does is scrape on EVERYTHING ive been running my car with out one for like 6 months

OK I thought so lol Yea mine has been scraping too. But I was thinking about citting it up a little to make it fit. But thats either another days project, or il just keep it in case I demod some day. Thanks for the help! No I just need my fuel rails to get here and I can toss on the core and Gen V!

With a proper tune and pulley drop...and flow mods, which a drop-in filter does no consist of...or a sway bar for that matter. Address the first issue with these cars, the exhaust. Buy headers.

Nope, it's a WBody...it'll get hot regardless with a stock t-stat and factory fan turn on points.

Yea thats what kinda worried me lol

Yeah, it's quite a bit more than that.

I can't install an IC in 5 minutes, lol.

There is more to the install than just throwing the core under the supercharger. Quite a bit more if you do it correctly.

BUSTED!!! But I was just saying if he feels comfortable pulling the sc then he could to the intercooler.

Depending on the intercooler, you'd need to be comfortable pulling the LIM.
