Looks great bmurray! Did you get the 2 tires from a guy in Wisconsin? Reason I ask is that there is a guy there who gets used tires from race teams and sells 'em cheap; I had 4 Hoosier sticky compound track tires that I got from him. Good luck with the build, you are doing a lot!

So after talking to several DE guys about larger intakes, etc.. I think I'm going to tackle an intake project. Or at least try to. Lol. I'm going to do 76mm intakes. 76.2mm OD maf housing. Here are some pieces I have found that should help with the project.

Any input/suggestions would be helpful!

Great project, Do you have any plans to upgrade the throttle bodies or port the stock ones?

I'm going to start by just doing the larger intakes. Going to see what gains those have. Eventually I would like to upgrade the throttle bodies though

One thing I really like about your build thread is that no matter how small the mod is we can count on seeing some pics of it.

OCD nitpick. You put the stickers on the wrong sides. Top sticker needs to go on bottom and vice versa.

Why is that? They'd look the exact same if I switched them..?

The stickers are curved for the contour of the wheel.
