Default Pictures of my newest custom modification

ive been planning on doing this for some time but havent had the time or motivation, but madman recently motivated me by putting something similar on my closest competitions car and he also gave me a good idea on how to improve on where it hooked into the intake box, i think it looks very mean when you stand back and look at it and it should move 20x the air that my fast toy did, if i can pick up a tenth and a mph id be thrilled and the entire thing weights 6lbs

how close to 9's can i get

i gained 1 mph and 1 tenth going from the fast toys ram air to my custom ram air. And that was while adding a roll bar and re installuing my A/C! so i added 120 lbs and still picked up.

Looks goos smokin... it's gotta flow more air then the fast toys setup.. and I bet it weigh's the same or less now with the sutff you had to remove to get it in there.

is it painted yet? Bet it almost looks factory once a coat of paint goes on it.

very soon brotha, very soon, hopfully a week or so, somehow my radiator developed a pin hole leak so i guess ill put a slp on it since its same price as a new stock one

dustin, i have no hood latch but i do have a zeus fastener smack dab in da front over where the hood latch was which is y i had to make sure to reienforce what was left of the bracket so i dont get air up under that thing at 130+

oh and uh matt,

did you have to add some more fuel in the tables on top end from all the extra air or did the maf compensate for it, better yet do you still have a maf, lol, i do

That's smooooth. Fiberglass?

Also, your radiator gets air from underneath, not though the foglight holes (unless you changed the radiator config)...just FYI.

This was back when i was full weight cam only M6 and was only trapping 117-118 and yes i had a MAF. I don't do my own tunning but i figure the MAF compensates for it.
