Default The "GRENADE" was noticed by GM high performance

Im slingin this link everywhere, sorry if you see it on other forums too, but I'm pretty pumped. Ive never had anything I thought was nice enough for a writeup. I was "interviewed" at the 2012 lsx shootout in indy last year by a writer and photographer for theblock.com; well alot of time went by after the race and I didnt hear anything so I thought maybe they changed their minds on posting it. Well a few days ago, the writer emailed me the rough draft to look over and said they would post it very soon. Heres the link to the final version.

Cool little truck you've got there, but I'm curious how you got your hands on the intake? Looking around a little, there's not much out on the internet about it yet, just that it's new.

Very cool man...tell us more about that intake...that is one slick set-up!

Do you put a lot of street time on it as well?

Congrats on the article! Very well executed car...super clean!

I work there, as an assembler/installer. They were building it for a project and wanted to test it and I showed some interest in putting it on my truck for some realworld testing. It works very well, clears up alot of room that you would otherwise need to mount an external IC and reduces the chargepipe length greatly. Plus it looks badass.
