Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Job well done, great color combo with the strip, wheels and interior.
on the exhaust I personally use the race magnum, the diameter of the pipe makes a difference on the sound and where the exhaust exit.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Thank Duallly, I think it came together in the end! I went with 18" oval, may be a little too quiet but I can't step on it yet. Goes to the tuners Monday

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Been busy but haven't posted much. Exhaust is on and sounds good, still haven't dropped the hammer yet.
Drove it 40 miles round trip to the tuners with no problems. I have the supercharger heat exchanger on the inside of the radiator because that is the only place it will fit. Tuners said it would not work as temps were too high and ECM was actually backing off timing. So I have ordered a smaller heat exchanger that will fit in front of the a/c and will move fan back to the inside which is better anyway. Always something but still progress!

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
That makes sense. I wonder if it would also work if you left them in place as they are now but just closed any gap between radiator and exchanger And had a nice, strong puller fan that would do the trick? I just don't know if that scenario would Yield hotter intake temps when the fan is not running?

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Intake was pretty much matching the radiator temp which was 190deg which is to hot. It should cut it in half if the outside air is 95 then 95 deg air should be going across the heat exchanger not 190.
They sent me accessories for a corvette and that thing is 24" wide. Tuners say they have seem much smaller heat exchangers work just fine. I have a 16" x 14" coming. Quote:

That makes sense. I guess that's why I'm not employed as an engineer for anyone. Lol

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
Ok, got everything moved and went for a test drive. This was the first time I've activated the SC and OH BABY!
I only got to 3500rpm but the sound and the feeling of being planted in the seat was awesome! Back to the tuners next week for WOT Tuning.

Re: Mesquite 1966 C10 - LS3 W/Air Ride
That would be sweet, won't be so noticeable once the stereo is all in and I don't drive it trying to find something wrong!
It's only noticeable while making slow turn like in a parking lot.
