Thanks!!! I think its the best way running twin gates. Haven't really decided on a level yet just going to see where it goes with pump gas. Then once I get some e85 in it I would like to say 20+psi. Will be able to tell once we start tuning this beast!!

You ever need anything welded send it on over. We are looking into starting something up this spring. He didnt even use any amperage control, no foot pedal or reostat on the butt welds!
How am I supposed to get better if I send all of my stuff away for welding

Right there with ya, but will be ready for E85 after I knock out the gas tune. I am just hoping the twin 38mm on each side will be able to vent enough to keep boost down.

As long as the placement is right you won't have a problem at all. Ill be running e85 also just want to see how she does on pump for now. But I've got a set of 120lb injectors for when I'm ready to go with corn

I'm looking around for intakes in case the ls6 doesn't cut it. I want the Holley but its too tall for the stock ss hood. I have heard mixed reviews on the Edelbrock pro-Flo XT that's the one I was leaning towards but what's better the XT or the Victor JR?

XT hands down, but the Super Victor would be choice over the Vic. Jr.

Ya the XT looks like one bad *** piece and I can keep the stock hood. That was the intake I wanted since I can't have the Holley.

It makes stupid torque with it's long runners and will work nicely in conjunction with your set-up.
