[QUOTE="slingshot, post: 15189313, member: 19314"] Back to the top and an update. As they always say--you slap a power adder on and you'll find your weak spots... after I dropped it off at Gearheads and had a new battery installed, had the MAF relocated to the fenderwell with a AFM Powerpipe and they got it on the dyno it would heat up very quickly under boost. As it turned out the car had an automatic tranny Fox-body radiator on it that was shot. Travis swapped it out for a brand new Fluidyne radiator and new thermostat, re-installed the stock shroud and installed a new clutch fan (I will still include the MkVIII fan in the sale if you prefer--Travis recommended the clutch fan and said to only go with electric if you needed it and that the factory style was better at this horsepower level. I know this subject has been debated to death on here and elsewhere, but since he was tuning it I went with his recommendation). With the stock 8-9 lb pulley and a super conservative fat tune with very little timing it made 380 rwhp with great street manners. With a 3.125" or 3" pulley (12+ lbs) and more aggressive tune should easily be able to crank it up to mid 400's. As I am selling it, will let the next owner tune it however they want. I just wanted it safe, docile and still be able to put a huge grin on your face when you stand on it--have no plans to race it. So, in the end result--car is tuned, has great street manners, does not overheat and I will be picking it up Saturday... [/QUOTE]
