Thanks.

Yes. John (Marcella) may give you the info you're looking for, if you ask pretty please.

Do the runners protrude into the plenum? How long are they - if you can without giving away secrets.

I run an MCM hood which gives me a little more height.

Thanks.

Ha ha. China wall is the front and rear wall of the block. So basically the measurement will be from the mating surface between the front of the block and the valley pan.

Here are a couple pics of the intake during fabrication.

Hello Ed,

How could you compare this Marcella to a FAST 102/102 SD tuned by you?

As far as? Driveability seems to be just as good with this intake as a FAST 102. This one makes a bunch more power though. I was surprised.

Thanks Ed...I didn't realized the compare was between a 102 FAST and this beautiful Marcella, point made.

Rob,
You should have brought your car, it was a great time. I ended up winning the drag race portion of the grand championship event and finishing 7th overall in points.....not bad considering the competition and with my back yard build!!
