So where is this, supposed, extra 25ft/lb of tq coming from with the smaller intake?

Haven't heard anyone with this theory yet but I always keep an open mind.

I did. On page one I have a link where I got the idea of shaving down the runners.

Scored a great deal on a mechman race alternator. It's a few pounds lighter and frees up a few HP due to its design. My stock one was quite noisy. This is the 170 amp version.

I had that squealing noise from the crankcase pressure. Had to drill that fitting into the intake tube to connect to my valve cover. This was a couple months ago lol

Awesome build Scott, I'm digging the progress. Maybe I missed it, but are you running a track tire/wheel combo?

When I go to the track I have 17" C5 magnesium wheels on the rear w/ 275/40/17 TOYO TQ drag radial. The fronts are my normal heavy chrome 17" C5Z wheels. The toyo drag radials suck.
