I wanted to put a 180 degree boot on the blower head to run a setup that pulled fresh air from the grille but I have no room for that

Got a couple more videos for you guys. Took the Scamp out today to do some tuning while the car is driving.
Got it tuned pretty well, check out the burnout video (shifted into 2nd too early, my mistake):
Also played with the timing tables and we created a section of the tune we can turn on and off. When turned on, it enables a timing table that makes the car have a very aggressive cam chop:

I too have space restrictions, as far as feeding cooler air to the blower. My previous N/A 408 Magnum grabbed air from the cowl on both sides and fed that into a custom air cleaner I bought from a guy in Canada. It worked really well, as the cowl air is somewhat higher pressure. (ever open the fresh air vents on the freeway?)
I drilled and tapped a fitting to spray straight methanol into the volute of the supercharger. I've been told it will drop that air temps 50 -70 degrees, but I will see and report on that. Look closely on the back side of the blower in this pic for the nozzle.
If that doesn't cool the intake charge enough, I may run a Chiller system that uses the A/C freon to cool the intake air through this heat exchanger. It's pretty compact.
If my fabrications skills are up to it, I may feed the cowl air through the passenger side hole I made, block the driver's side hole and feed the air filter to the blower intake from the cowl through the air filter encased in some kind of a can shaped container, and/or some combination of cowl air to blower through Chiller into engine.

These are the motion raceworks grommets and push in AN fittings. And a shot of their catch can.

I love that air cleaner set up you made. In fact if you’re not going to use it I’d like to buy it from you for my D100. PM me if that’s a possibility. I’ve looked at some of the Frozen Boost inline intercoolers for my boat, but I’m waiting for Richard Holdener to do a real test on them. He promised me he would. If you do spray straight meth and record the inlet temps, please do share the data. I’d be very interested in it. I’ve sprayed straight meth and it does absolutely work to lower temps and add a burnable fuel but I’ve never recorded temps before and after doing it.

I’ve got the same catch can and 90 degree fittings on the way. I’ll be pulling air off the valve covers from breathers with outlets

I plan on using the Terminator Max to manage the flow etc. Your mailbox shows full.

Thank you sir. Cleared out now.

Got the oil catchcan in the mail today. Had to get creative with the mounting solution. Think it turned out pretty decent without much effort.

Some more pics, wrapped up the oil catch can install. Also installed a power steering cooler, Hotchkis subframe connectors, and new shift linkage bushings. I’ll try to get some pics of the subframe connectors the next time I’m under the car

Got some pics of the subframe connectors. Drove the car to the gym today, felt much more solid. I planned on doing the offset spring shackles next to fit some 275/60r15 radials. Current setup is a 255/60r15.
However, it looks like the car already has them. Just need some different wheels with more backspacing. I’m still toying with the idea of moving the springs inboard to the frame. But, I don’t plan on tubbing the car so I’m not sure how much more clearance for tires I’d get. Or, if the spring relocation would be worth it.

Although they are not for use in freezing temperatures, I really like the Nitto 555's in a 275/60-15's for street use. They have a 186 mph rating (fronts are rated to 149mph), are actually round and have a decent traction once they are in their preferred temperature operating range of not too hot and not too cold. I try and keep it under 150 mph these days, besides the speedo maxes out at 150 mph and the wind noise becomes deafening.

A little more progress on the car today. Welded in two small resonators to drop the decibels at cruise RPM. Also welded the intake air temp bung into the intake, and picked up an old 275/60r15 tire to test fit under the car.
While driving around today I monitored the intake air temp and it reached 160 degrees. A little warm for my liking. I’ve got 1/8in aluminum plate I’m going to use to make a heat shield between the air filter and the headers. I’m thinking it’ll help but I still need to figure out where I’m going to fit a charge air cooler.

They got that high when I was crawling in traffic after driving around for a while. Im not surprised, the supercharger is pulling air right above the header, I’m hoping the heat shield I make for it will knock that down some

Bent and cut some 1/8in aluminum for the intake heat shield today

Dropped off my heat shield at my buddy’s so he could weld it for me (I need a new tig machine, haven’t gotten around to pulling the trigger on one yet).
Meanwhile, I trial fitted a 275/60r15 onto the back of the car. I wasn’t optimistic that it would fit but it was easy enough to check so I figured why not.
Simulated it on a 9in wide wheel but the tire was just too wide, contacting both the leaf springs and the outer quarter panel. The car does have offset leave spring hangers but it just didn’t have the clearance that tire needed. I don’t plan on tubbing the car, but I would like to get 9in wide wheels, car currently has 15x8 cop wheels. Ill just have to measure carefully for correct backspacing and I’ll have to keep the 255/60r15 in the rear, not a big deal.

Nice! Now cut a hole in the hood and feed that thing some fresh air.

The scoops on the car are functional. Passenger side scoop feeds air right over top of where the filter sits. Lucky it worked out that way. Also thinking of wrapping the heat shield in reflective tape, not sure that stuff works but it couldn’t hurt?

It does work. I’ll see if I can find the stuff I used on my boat and let you know what it is. I had the carpet on the inside of the engine cover resting on the turbos. Covered it in tape and stapled it and the turbos don’t melt the carpet anymore. It worked fantastic. Top right corner in the pic.
It was heat shield tape from DEI products and I bought it from summit.

Oh that’s sweet! Anything I can do to reduce the IAT. I’m even tossing around the idea of moving the radiator closer to the engine so I could fit a thin air to air intercooler between the radiator and the core support. That’s really my best bet I feel to get an intercooler in the front of the car.

I edited my post to add a picture and what the product was.
