Its one from Vortech. All you will need to do is put it on a rotary table on a mill that way it can center it self on your dampener.

Thanks, Sometimes I wish I would not of been so stubborn and switched to an LSX years ago. I just wanted to see how far I could push it. I will say that switching to the LS ECM was one of the best mods for this car.

I have a Twin YSi build in the works with an LSX block. Hopefully it will be done next winter. If the car does not sell.

I am using a T56. Just have the usual mods with stock output shaft. Need to upgrade it to the 30T output. Hopefully if will last this summer.

Didn't use ice on these runs. IAT were in the 85 to 90. When I switch to the 80 t crank pulley I will run ice. Even cruising around. In traffic they never go over 90.

With ice / meth and more boost I think you may more than surpass your number goals.

I left it in. Thought it would help distribute the air on the single plane. We did go in and smooth it out though and take all the casting flaws off of it.

I also milled the back of it to fit my 3 bar map.





Here are some other pics of my intake and coil mounting.











This is what took the longest, repining the harness.

Yeah I was curious because some have removed the divider and some have not...I have the ultra low and will be purchasing the tallest elbow they offer in the near future and will do a comparison at the track and maybe the rollers as well...only if I'm feeling motivated though lol.
