    I was thinking a battery? I guess im not sure what your asking...

    I cant decide on using an air to air intercooler up front or an air to water intercooler inside the car. Im gonng be running it on E85 for fuel so I may end up just going with the air to air.

    Best regards,
    Tony Reiners

    Ha. No no. are you using a Laptop or do you have a Mega Squirt Tuner?
    I have used both. Both work pretty good.

    A front mount would be the easiest, You can buy one cheap compared to a water to air.

    UPDATE: 11/24/07 engine is in

    Here are some photos of my ****box Mad Max looking 72 Ford Maverick.
    Specs for now:
    stock 5.0 shortblock
    main girdle <it was free
    hyper flat tops
    stock E7 heads
    stock 5.0 H.O. cam
    1.7 c o b r a rockers
    ported truck lower intake
    downs box upper
    96lb/hr injectors
    twin 255 inline pumps (may go to three)
    Megasquirt 1 ems
    Master Power T70
    knock off Tial 44mm wg
    C4 trans (more clutches, kevlar bands, PA trans brake)
    8" ford rear end 3.00 gears <BOOM
    E85 for fuel (i live in the midwest, might as well run on corn!)
    I think thats about it for now. Still a work in progress. Going to start working on the air to water intercooler inside the car and a 10 point cage here shortly. I will post more photos as the build continues.
    Best regards,
    Tony Reiners
