Intercooler will probably be done sometime next week. Robert of Chiseled Performance is building the double 2000 hp unit.
I've been using and recommending Robert for a number of years as he has been one of my favorite vendors.
He delivers quality fabricated aluminum stuff. His many years of various applications makes him one of the best in his field when it comes to knowing what will work for us.
He is building the inlet tank with two 3" tubes so that I do not have make a "Y" pipe, I hate making "Y" pipes.
Robert likes our engineering so far and has come on board as a sponsor. He has worked us a very, very generous deal on our intercooler . Many thanks to Robert!!!!!

I have one that you would have to put a boot and tube in--you are welcome to it if you can use it
A boot? |

A boot?
A large reinforced patch used because the tire has structural damage. I guarantee you're not going to go fast with that one! Pete |

LOL  Rob from before your time!! Before and During WW ll tires were especially hard to come by and the old cotton cord tires (before steel radials) would blow out or would have a sever puncture wound they would put a thick patch or most times an insert called a "BOOT" the inflated tube would hold it in place. |

Com'on Freud, we speak normally. The reference to the boot at the back of the car or the front in the case of a rear engined auto is a British term that never made it across the pond.  Pete |

Sparky, sounds like you have one tire. Does anybody have another?
Also, it is getting time to order the new set of tires. Is there a dealer on the east coast or midwest that stocks the MT 30 x 9s?

Does anybody have a pair of worn out 9 x 30" Mickey Thompsons? We will need a mockup / transportation set of tires.
Look up the 411 roadster guys after a run, might be a bit shreded though  JL222 |

I'm pretty sure that you have to order them direct from Mickey Thompson Tires. They said that those would be available at the end of February. Contact Thomas Kundrik. Hope that helps, Doug |
