I may do that soon. What I'm worried about with it is the distribution. I know the other single planes have that issue in high hp applications so if this one is different and doesn't I'd think about it. I'm running the -2 heads so it's either their's or sheetmetal.

Working on opening up the turbo inlet and made a hole in the grill to straighten the air out in front of the turbo.

Don’t like the way the intercooler lines are in the engine bay so I am moving them to the other side under the fender. Love my rivet nut gun

Split it into dual 4" and bullhorn that bitch lol. Nah, I like the exhaust rings and the exhaust flush with them way more than horns.

Love that All-Pro intake and you went all out on the heads! Plan to put it on a chassis dyno? I'd be really intrigued to see what it makes at the tire vs. your old one. It made 1000 something didn't it?

For sure as I don't either. Just interested in how much more power this will make over the old AFR heads and the bigger stroke motor. I honestly think this is THE combo to put a hurting on the turbo fords in X275....you should for sure bring it down here to NC and show the local turbo fords that have been dominating the turbo ranks how a LSX does it. Smith graces us with his presence 2-3 times a year and does it everytime

Top notch is the first thing that comes to mind about that car. Your car is getting there for sure too! I like how you put the stock shifter in the last car and snuck it over here into this now also. Street car!
