You'll need to make three holes in the spare tire well for the feed, return, and drain lines. Even though grommets are recommended to protect the lines, you should silicone them for added protection. The water pump, which is a Bosch piece from the Lightning parts bin, is mounted back by the tank.

A 50/50 coolant mix is recommended, though ice water can be substituted at the track or in areas where freezing ambient temperatures aren't a problem.

With the cooler intake charge temperatures, we were able to add 3 psi of boost through a pulley change on the Kenne Bell supercharger, resulting in a gain of 36 rwhp and 43 lb-ft of torque. Anytime you can pick up gains under the entire curve as we did, it will provide more seat-of-the-pants results, as well as decreased elapsed times greater than if you'd picked up just at peak power.
