i cant comment on the intake yet becasue it hasnt been used . it will get put to use as sonn as the motor runs. im hoping i dont lose to much bottom end with the shorter runners but i think the truck has enough bottom end grunt to get it moving especially with a 15 psi pulley boost shoul dbe made easily by 2300 rpms. so i should be able to launch with a few punds of boost. i just am going to put a hurting on my 65e so we will see how long it has.

well guys almost there. shoul dbe ready to fire next saturday if everything goes as planned. all that is left is to drill and tap the elbow for hose fittings and run all of the vacuum lines to. which is alot kind ofalot ( fpr, pcv's .evap, 2nd fuel pump hobbs, brake booster, boost gauge,. also have to take care of the little things, plug wires a few connectors, finsih mounting the intercooler and connect the hoses.
the intercooler piping and the intercoler are just on there , i need to actually put the bracket on and mount them i also am waiting on the methanol kit and that wil use the two bungs you see on the post intercooler pipe. it will be a dual nozzle system ihope i dont become a meth addict.
i spent about 6-7 hours today on this , it took a while too do the fuel lines since i had to cut and the recut some because they were a little long, but better safe than sorry . then i had to re run all the fuel lines because i wasnt happy with them being to close to the headers. also had to make a trip down to g.j. to pick up some extra fittings. hopefully no leaks but there are always bugs when doing so many new thigns at once. also have to get the elbow polished before i go at it.
