major lag from the stock converter.
Update ***

Sorry, any links to one on ebay? I'm very interested. It looks like an easy install: i.e., no cutting, minimal disassembly.....?

Looks good, I will be doing something very similar when I get back from overseas. Have you tried to install a tranny cooler? I just put one in and I am hoping it will not interfer with the intercooler when I get around to doing it. I will also have a arizonagn radiator on order when this gets done so I hope cooling won't be too much of an issue.

i installed the ramchargers dual fans , the same time i installed the front mount, no cooling problems yet, even with the a/c on, down here in south texas
