Does anybody has any experience with Eastwood radiator black paint? Im thinking to coat my intercooler with it to make it black. I wonder if its gonna reduce the efficiency of the intercooler.

It won't. It's really thin. Go ahead and spray the intercooler. You'll be fine. It does chip really easily, so be prepared to give it the occasional touch up.

Installed FI exhaust and FI resonated test pipes today. Totally different tone. Love the sound but gotta be honest, ARK grip sounded nice as well. The fitment of flanges, mufflers and tips is no comparison, everything lined up perfectly. One hiccup though, which most likely is effected by my car being previously rear ended. While test driving, I heard strange noise and found right side muffler is MM away from the charcoal canister even after removing the canister shield as per instructions. I will try to relocate or move the charcoal canister to get a little bit more clearance from the muffler. Would like to see a picture of how much clearance it should have for comaprison. So if anybody would be so kind to take a quick picture for me, I would really appreciate.
Also installed AAM oil pan spacer.
Used my vacation week so the supercharger build starts tomorrow.

Best of luck with your build. Looking forward to following it. I'm hoping to go FI in the future. PM coming your way.

Started the build late afternoon on Sunday. Looks like by the end of the day tomorrow, it should be ready to be fired up. Here's what I've installed so far:
Fuel pump
Injectors and spark plugs
Both side motor mounts
Supercharger unit, idler pulleys, alternator, power steering pump and the drive belt.

Will start the day with finishing up the power steering and supercharger oil lines and cooler which are almost done.

Can you measure the diameter of the compressor housing intake hole, if you haven't installed it yet.

I'm looking to see if 3 inch, v-band has an ID of 2.75 inch.

Thanks

HELP needed! So got the car all back together, flashed the tune, started the car and it wont keep running. Checked for trouble codes and found P0447. Evap emission control vent control circuit open. Would it be something with a fuel pump wiring, something that controls the vent? Or maybe because my exhaust is touching the charcoal canister and caused it to go bad? I just hope its only a coincidence that I just installed the kit and that happens.

Sounds like you left something unplugged.

Check your MAF sensors make sure you installed them correct and the plugs are on good.

Next is it running "Rich" do you smell gas in the exhaust? If so the tune may have the wrong "K" factor, you are running the 660cc injectors?
