Looks Great

Why the step up in pipe size right before the throttle body?

pipe = 2.5 inch and tb = 4 inch

MAF dont like that so we step it up to 3 inch for more even air flow can't fit 3 inch all the way

I think even an 11.5 would net you the 3.8 F-Body record. I think Shirl holds it at 11.7 or so.
