Jantzen,

What inlet fitting do you have on the MM can? It looks like the 3/8 hose barb from the pics.

Yeah I got the 3/8" barb.

Ordered the MM can... I'll just sell the Rx can.

smithnc · 07-11-2015, 11:33 PM

Ordered the B&M 70273 SuperCooler... hopefully there is enough clearance to mount this above the intercooler

You might have to get creative with the trans cooler mounting. I looked at the cylindrical frame rail mounted ones a while back.

Your RX can single valve? You coming to the fest? Let me know how much you want. I cracked a fitting on top of my RX can.

MagnumForce tried a couple different tranny coolers up front, he prob has a good idea what would fit up there. I probably need to do one too for the strip but honestly I don't see that high of a trans tempature.

The cans that come with the kit are dual valve cans, but I'm pretty sure you can just plug off one of them and it works just like the single can. I tried selling mine and didn't have much luck. If you want to try it I would just give it to you for whatever the shipping would be. I have no use for it, i only ran it for 3k miles.

smithnc · 07-12-2015, 06:36 PM

I believe the trans cooler I ordered is the one MagnumForce uses. I've never been to the fest before but would love to go, idk if I'll have the time this year...

JantzenOKC · 07-13-2015, 08:34 PM

Have you ever taken your car to the drag strip stock and/or with the nitrous setup?

smithnc · 07-15-2015, 05:43 PM

Bone stock was 14.2-3 in Michigan... I didn't get the nitrous until I moved to Colorado so elevation affects my times, but the time was around 14 seconds... I'll have to dig up the time sheets. I'll def get some time sheets at Bandimere Speedway once the turbo kit is installed. Do you have any new times?... It would be awesome to see that 11.XX time slip

I have been contacting local shops for install and received a response from RMCR in Colorado Springs. According to other camaro5 member, they are the shop to go to. Here is what they quoted me:

"Sorry for the delayed response. I have been out of the shop.

Labor would be 1520.00
Before and After Dyno would be 170.00

Total would be 1690.00

We can also do a custom ECM tune with the install and dial it in for the altitude. That would be 490.00 additional.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks"

Does this seem reasonable for install and tune?

Sounds fun! Let us know if you need a converter to spool up a little easier.

I am def interested in a converter... not sure what my options are though. I'll fill out the recommendation form.
