I'll make sure Andy is standing beside Mike when he gets another hard-on once he sees the car up close! 
Some intake/fuel changes

Is that shirt strategically placed or is it just a rag for catching the fuel during the intake swap?
That does look pretty cool.... it's cool to see someone doing something different than everyone else.

Something different? I like pulling my hair out and sit there staring at the car hours on end
So what was the main reason for switching intakes?
In the October 2005 issue of Popular Hotrodding thay Had a Turbo 402 with the Victor intake, they switched it out with the FAST intake and made more power.
I tried finding the article on line but couldn't find it.
Also don't you think its time to switch to a BIGstuff computer.

The main drwback of the LS6/FAST is that the rear cylinders see more boost pressure than the front cylinders.The Carb intake will even out the airflow meaning we can run more boost without worrying about the rear cylinders running too lean.

I'm already removing the PCV completely and going to a breather setup so I'll have one less thing to deal with when it comes time to put one of those on.. I'm not 100% that it's gonna be a huge gain over a fast setup on a 346, but I'm gonna find out.

Thats definately cool looking. Now I can see how high it is (very) and where we need the height on the hood. I'm not even sure the Magna hoods for the vette are high enough for it. Maybe the JD hood. It looks high from front to back, I think it's 3 inches. I've got an email going with dennis out there. Welcome to the land of vette frustration. I'll be over snow or no snow and we'll take some measurements.

As for the fuel lines, if I'm gonna try to runa decent sized dry shot, which when I will when I start with the bottle, the whole fuel system will be gettign upgraded, so the fuel lines aren't really my worry, when the intake goes on I planned on goign bigger injectors, rails, probably a good pressure regulator and a good sized fuel pump. If I have to run new lines, so be it, probably better to go bigger on them while I'm at it anyway, I've never heard of anyone having too good a fuel system.. probably the safest thing I can do to get the stock bottom end to live as long as possible.

Its what they found on the dyno. I have the article at home I'll re-read it again and find out why the FAST intake made more power. It made 1130hp .
