Beck made that intake years ago. Yes wiggins for sure. You will find no silicone couplers on any of my big power builds.

I'm kinda surprised that wasn't one of the bajillion stipulations on that bet.

When is the mile this next time?

Hope you guys get this one done in time. Would be nice to see one of your cars run in the mile and see what it's got.

The mile is like March 25-27 or something like that. Yes it will be done, lol. I should have it started this weekend. Then I have to wired up the race pack and boost controller and we will head for the dyno.

I think it "was", but no one cared.

Car is looking good. Hopefully it runs well at the mile.

Lol knew that was coming, not surprised there, I'm sure if there was another location for it that wasn't sitting up higher than the intake they would have put it there. But it's cool, I understand space is tight in turbo cars. You gotta put **** where it will fit. Again lmr good work as always...

It is like looking at a Picasso painting and complaining about the nose being crooked. Who gives a crap about an alternator, on a car that is likely pushing 1500+ hp?

Just sayin'
