Ive ordered 2 from kennedy and they make a hell of an adapter plate not to mention every nut an bolt you need to put everything on. Also if you buy the adapter plate you can get a deal on a stage 3 pressure plate and clutch setup. Thats what im running in my ecotec and its working great. KENNEDY ENGINEERED PRODUCTS, INC FTW! |

 Bought it at lowes $20 or something like that. Sealed electric box. You radiators not going to get any flow through it hiding behind your fuel cell. |

Thanks. I just looked at Lowes maybe i need to look harder. The radiator has more space between it and fuel cell than it looks. I am going to do something to help guide some air at it. |
