lulz...

That's ALMOST the biggest waste of $40 evaaarrrr....

If anything that would have the opposite effect of sucking in the heat from the engine bay.

FYI... if you design your IC setup correctly, you don't need to worry about your IC "not cooling enough".

I love this statement:

This will enable your intercooler to cool down the air even more giving you more power or allow you to run a smaller intercooler saving space, weight, and money.

Still collecting parts, I have the block machined and I ported the heads/manifolds. I am going to have the cams custom ground by comp cams, I need to make a set of tall valve covers to clear the adjustable rockers, I need to assemble my solid lifters, need to figure out which size valves and hardware I want to run, I still need to send the rotating assembly to be clearances, lightened and balanced, I need to lighten up my vh45 pistons and I need to call clevite to order some bearings. Then I can start putting it together.

'll probably make a build thread when I am done building it, and I haven't decided on the oil pump yet, but it seems easier to machine the block then machining the crank at this point.
