          Interesting to note that they designed similar to what us in the garage have been doing. When plumbing up an acquaintance, T-88'd 408 we placed the alternator in the same exact spot (we custom made a bracket for placement there. The aftermarket community uses dual and single intercoolers. The larger single intercooler was found to be more efficient. Expect that portion of the LS9 to be a site where mods will commence, and possibly relocation by the hard core guys to the front of the radiator for increased cooling capacity by being in the high-pressure air flow created by the air dams. Another thing to note was that probably like guys you and me who'd place a p1 or d1 on an LSX/LTX based motor proved that the concept works. Do you really think that GM was only doing advertising on the Hot Rod Power Tour?

                Lol, by the time one makes it to my garage it will be 10 years old and leaking oil and coolant on the floor.

                    Yes that LS9 would look good under the hood of my car.

                      So is it basically a LS2 with a blower or is a different design all together?

                        The throttle body looks funny how it sits on the engine. They need an optional induction system sticking out of the hood!!!

                        This engine will only be available in the 09 corvette correct?

                          what? You don't have one on order? I would have put money on you being one of the first guys to have one.

                            Yes, I've had one on order since late 05.

                            Gave them the deposit check the day I picked up the C6Z. I'm first on the list at the largest KC Corvette Stealership.

                              Did they give you a firm price on it Norman?

                              sorry - dumb question...

                              Second thought, they wouldn't even know in late '05, LOL.
