Oh yes I totally forgot about that extra super high flow cat I welded on!!!!!! HahahaYou have a cat, I seen it!

That's the same issue my 68 vette has and I was worried about that with this car.I did a bit of flow testing with a huge shop fan and found that the air likes to blow up and over the front heat exchanger and radiator and not through it.

I'll be following along with you on this. I'm interested in seeing what you come up with.I don’t think it’s a problem for the engine, but as I install the stage 3 kit I don’t want to heat soak the SC!

I have been looking at wheel and tire choices, I was surprised at the amount of choices with the 5-110 bolt pattern of the 2006 SS/SC. I noticed that the hub size of your donor is 57.1 mm I just wanted to make sure people know that the 2005 - 2007 SS/SC hubs are 65.1 mm from what I have found by my research and the measuring of mine. Thats a definite need to know measurement when ordering wheels. Looks like I will be going with wheels made by OZ Racing unless I find some a little less expensive that I like as well that are as light as the OZ racingYep, the Miata spec, Remember you need to have the 15" version center hubs bored out on a lathe from 54.1mm to 57.1mm it only cost me 40$ for both.

They are the tungsten color, I'm really loving how they look!

I was just bringing up the measurement of the hubs in case someone didnt realize there is a size diffrence in the actual diameter. That the bolt pattern isnt the only thing that changes from 2007 SS/SC to the 2008 SS/T. I didn't know there was a diffrence in the hub diameter until I started looking for wheels. Plus trying to decide if I wanted to go to a 4 lug, have my hubs redrilled or just stay with the 5-110 bolt pattern.I think Nuker converted to 4×100 which would have a different/smaller hub diameter.
Just a found this scoop: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Marine-Style-Air-Scoop-Fabricated-Aluminum-Boat-Air-Scoop-Polished-/230719907693http://a360.co/2n5i5yq
Been working on a side air scoop, this is just a fast build going to 3d print one and test. Planning on mounting a large heatxchanger somewhere in the back after the stage 3 kit arrives.

I have been looking at the ZZP stealth intercooler. It will be a little easier to locate it in the Goblin with the smaller area it occupies. It does have a much smaller footprint, but the cooling ability is supposed to be equal to or close to the stock intercooler plus the stage 3 ZZP intercooler together. Its not much of a difference in cost eitherThat scoop is not bad, I’m kinda in a holding pattern until zzp gets the stage 3 to me so I can figure out the heat exchanger.
I’ll post some pics once I figure out the mount, I like Jsatx mount but I don’t think that will quiet work for the SC exhaust, a ton of heat needs to be blocked from the heat exchanger.

Also took the goblin out for a drive in 50deg weather and boy this thing is scary! Even after a 5 mile run down the highway the tires were bearly 70deg with non contact thermometer!
Can’t wait till it’s 80 outside again!
I never drove with the stock one, But this one is having zero issues. I think I have almost 6k miles now. I have done several 4-5k launches with no slippage.Hey just curious, now that you’ve been driving for a bit how you like the lightweight flywheel?
