Very nice build!!! I'm a huge procharger fan and the setup you are using is similar to the one i want to run on my roadster in the near future. I like the cover over the procharger should help out  with the aerodynamics of the car. Hopefully i make out to Bonneville and i would like to stop by your pit area check out your car, meet your team and ask you some questions about your blower and intercooler setup.

Feel free to stop in! We started it last night and its off to the dyno in the morning , still a lot of work ahead of us but were way ahead of where we were last year at this time.

Sweet thanks man, I'll make sure I look out for you guys. I'm planning on running in D/BFR in the next couple of years but the challenge in fitting a Chris Alston's front supercharger single drive procharger setup with a water intercooler has been a bit difficult to put in perspective. Lucky for me for me I ran across your build and now I know that a similar setup will work for me. I've also reached out for help from the Langlo Camaro team cause they too run a procharger water intercooler setup. I hope i can pick your brain a bit and get some pointers from you. First beer is on me  :cheers: only if you're not in impound! Its good to know that you guys are ahead of last year, something good has to be going on at the shop, I would like to know the results from the dyno, hope you guys are at the goal you set out to be!

Once again a comment about no beer in impound. What the heck is going on here?

We ran on the dyno today with good results , everything is happy ! We have had good luck with our side slinger but if you can fit a gear drive those things are awesome! We are not turning this F2 very hard so everything with the blower has been very reliable . Feel free to ask anything about it , we have learned a lot about this since the start of this build. We also run a drag radial car with a BBC F3 on alcohol . And if we get to impound I think a beer or two will be had in our pit!  :-D

Wilcox G., what number is the Camaro from Enumclaw?  Thanx.
