Intake is finally shipped. Now just waiting for the holley coils to show. Engine shop needed to pull the crank back out to have the second key cut in it as it didn't come with 2 keyways.

The intake showed up today along with the holley coils and harness. Almost show time. I had to set it all up together to see what it looks like. So here you go. From the table to top of bug catcher is 20" tall.

Have you ever driven a roots blown setup? You won't need any more "off the line" power I could see using some on the top end for cooling though

How much was the intake? It's a very nice looking piece for sure! Looking forward to some numbers on this setup! I work with monster trucks and we run BBCs with 8-71s and Methanol Mech. injection. I've been pushing for someone to try EFI for a while now, but getting these guys to experiment is like pulling teeth.
