Are you still going ahead with the air-water intercooler, Dave?
Time frame?

Air-water? I wish :P

Time frame - after this 302 blows up. Peak Oil?

For now i'm staying with the stock pulley & either no intercooling or the hobo water/meth injection if I can be bothered finding/"making" a place to stuff it into. My car alarm is currently dangling between the washer bottle & the engine, that'd be a good place for the injection setup.

Injectors, MAF, twEECer to be fitted whenever I get time I guess. I was going to take it to PowerCruise but that's looking doubtful.

When the engine lets go I'll probably fit an FMIC & flip the upper, US style. Although I'll probably be best off swapping the housing for one without a 90 degree bend if I go for this.

Will accept up to a 90mm TB so 70mm shouldn't be a drama.

It means serious business :)
