The airbox is finished. Its in place of the fuse box on the driver side. We pulled the 346 out today and wil be working on rewiring the car tomorrow. I also ordered the powerglide today. Does anyone know where I can get a 5.5" to 5" silicone coupler? I plan to shift around 7k and I will be running 3:73 gears with my 325/50's right now and when I sell my Moser 12 bolt I will be switching to a 9" with 3:50 gears. Also 315/60's will probably be used sometime. The intercooler is good for about 800hp but I will use a 50 shot to help cool for now. I'll get some measurements tomorrow. I'm going to send off the hot parts to Calico Coatings tomorrow to get coated. Is there any advantage of coating the aluminum charge pipes or just polish them? Would anyone suggest header wrap over coating for the hot pipes?

The charge piping is 3" up to 4" at the TB, 5" to 4" Downpipe, and I think 2.5" on the crossover piping.

Thanks guys, the intake manifold should be done by Monday also. The PS is coming off but it wouldn't be in the way.

Nice... What is your goal on pump gas, no meth or nitrous?

Is your Formy a hardtop or have t-tops? Is it Reckless' old 1LE car?

I'm looking for 850whp on pump with a little nitous for the pump gas draps then c16. It is Reckless's old car and a hardtop.
