Kinda torn between installing an A2A intercooler(23.5"x12x4), or buying an Akly kit.
Combo:
Stock SLIC
Stock bottom end
Ported irons
PTE 6262 turbo
Hemco plenum
EBL SFI 6
My budget allows for completing the machine work on the heads, and gaskets. I will have enough left for an alky kit(Devils' own), or buying the necessary items needed to install FMIC(piping and hardware). Right now the SLIC is not getting the job done, on a 2nd gear WOT pull, the IATs will climb right up to 130*+, and starts to knock in 3rd gear even with reduced timing and AFR's in the upper 10's. Boost is limited to 15psi for 1+2 gear and 12psi for 3rd. The ambient temps have been in the 70's too. Alky will help keep the engine safe, as will the A2A, but which would be a better investment right now?
Thanks!
