She actually looks MUCH better than that. And THE #1 deal with her is shehas never been exposed to anything racing related and she loves it. She might be a keeper.

Intake looks real good David should pickup nicely with that. My intake looks very similar to your since I finished it. Once I get mine tuned and running well, my next step maybe adding a spacer and a 4 hole throttlebody if it helps on your car. My elbow is quite a bit different so well see. Later and goodluck Clint

I am putting a J&S knock alert on it this time. The intake port and the .5 reduction in compression should also help.
