June 6, 2011 - A few days of very hard work and no updates.
So let's catch up, shall we?
First, the new intake. This has been a bit of a challenge because the throttle body is 4" and the MAF is 3.5". On the rest of the cars built at FM, we've used a 4" MAF. So I've had to play with a couple of different tubing sizes. The previous iteration dropped down to 3.5" then back up again, but there's no reason for that and it put a big 4" tube in the tightest spot. So I stopped by a muffler shop for a tight 90 degree mandrel bend of 3.5" tubing and assembled this setup.
Yes, the filter is right above the left header. I'll work on that later. Right now, the focus is getting the car to the track on Saturday.
