Kinda of dumb question but did you do anything with the IAC path? Since the stock intake has air bleed holes going to each cylinder via the intake runners. I guessing split blms for life though Is the stock throttle cable going to work or are you using like a lokar or something else?

Is there enough clearance to get the drivers valve cover off?

The valve covers can easily removed by taking off the just the throttle body with 4 fasteners.

Been doing some research intercoolers can be had through companies like Griffin (custom made) for around $600, but you still have to plumg a heat exchanger and pump. I think meth is the best intercooler anyways. At normal driving IAT's will stay close to Ambient, when into throttle Meth kicks in lower IAT's.

I am in the process of doing a 2.9 whipple system as well. Almost done with my base manifold. Not as slick as BBK's but it will work
