My wife gets tired of not seeing me get home every night until usually around 8:00, and a lot of my weekends are spent either at the shop or on the computer. We scheduled this trip long before we had any plans to go to Sema. My wife enjoys booking us into expensive places at dirt cheap prices, so I can't complain. Yesterday we came back from the Key's to Southbeach in Miami, and we're in a Condo on the beach, with a separate bedroom, full kitchen, two baths, two TV's etc, for $100.00 a night! Bob

YES it is, I couldn't do all this without mine....

Thanks for calling yesteday & getting my order completed Jake!

Do you have a pic that shows in detail how / where you ran the pipe from the FMIC up to the TB? I assume you used the hole under the fuse box, but before I start using the sawzall making that bigger I'd like to know for sure....

And I have one more question for you guys. Does anyone make bigger crank pullies? I'm only spinning my D to 55k with the ATI crank & 3.45 blower pullies (shifting at 6k). I'd like to step it up to 60k for this new setup, but I don't really want to run a smaller blower pulley (to avoid slipping). So I was tinking if someone makes a 10" crank, I could go back to the 4.1 on the D & be right where I want to be.

i had the same question about were it runs up at, and it runs out in that hole, but you dont have to cut it,just work it around, when you done can you send me a close up of how you ran everything from the "up pipe" to the MAS and then to the TB? im lost on that one it seem that the peace i have is to long? but as with the "up pipe" im probly just looking at it wrong?

These pic's may help. We have had larger pulley made for us in the past by a local machine shop. One inch larger in diameter is what we went with. I know that ASP now makes them for the GTO's. one of my customers in California sent ASP his ATI ProCharger crank pulley, and they made a duplicate that was one inch larger in diameter. I am sure they would do the same for you. Bob

Have there been any power increases shown with that intake over the stock hat?

I like how there was no cutting to put that in there. What is the selling price for it and the element?

Here are the parts. We haven't done any performance testing between the stock inlet hat and this one, but it does look better if nothing else. The larger air filter does make a difference, and many people pick up several pounds of boost with it. Bob

Heh, with this setup its a nicer finish, and it tucks the tube up in the fender more. I'll look into doing a filter / tube / clamp for one price deal.
