Okay.

I'm sticking my neck out here, but here's what I remember.  Brian said
that he'd probably sell a non-intercooled version and for folks that
wanted the intercooled, he'd put the intercooler up front under the
grill.  He said something about air/air and air/oil, but I can't
remember the details and which way he was going.

As far as the tranny, Brian has pretty good response to that on his site
I believe.  Shouldn't be worse than the SVX.

I am no mechanical expert, but his stuff was clean and in 15 minutes of
talking to Brian you can tell he's the real deal.  The very low dude
quotient was refreshing.

It doesn't look like the intercooler would see much wind as it sits.  I
don't know a lot about them, but I know the cooler the air, the better
the
power output.

Looks nice though.
