T-t-that's just wrong...

I just wish I could refute that statement somehow

Let me just say this about that though... you suck

brutalform... there isn't much to look at right now.. the carcass is covered in plastic at the moment. When the bay is done, the body will be even less to look at when I get to removing the current white.

I have the orange ones on my intake system. I got them from a local tractor trailer supply store. I needed couplers that were 4", and that was all they had.(see pic) Id like to get black ones, and maybe get my homemade air intake tubes powdercoated. Do you have any times with your set up? How many PSIs are you pushing?

I hear you about updating your pics. I just bought my daughter a real expensive digital camera for X-MAS. I should steal it to do the same.

I ran a 14.9 stock, well with headers, exhaust, cam, ported intake... but it tops out at a whole 4 psi and i ran a 14.1 @ 97mph in the middle of the summer. Im trying to get the most out of the little m90, im in the process of porting it, making a 4" intake and putting a smaller pulley on to get around the 7-8 psi range. What times are you seeing with that setup?
