Yeah, the bottom end on the 3.8 SC motor is very strong, you guys must not confuse this motor with the N/A 3.8. They can handle a lot of boost...that same guy that I mentioned having the 20 psi stock bottom end super couper also had another super coupe that had literally lifted the heads off of the block but the bottom end never gave in (that was at 25 psi)
Like I said, im getting almost 15 psi on a ported early style M90, drive it daily, beat on it nearly daily...and thats on a 150,000 mile bottom end...they were built for boost.
And the intercooler mounts next to the radiator....Ryan, even though the intercooler im selling you comes with a perma-cool fan on it, you might run into heat soak problems and may want to consider switching over to a double intercooler or even a front mount, granted that could get pricey but you gotta pay to play!
