Well, I'm thinking about modding my Shaker shroud similar to Leo's.

I'm leaving the Shaker off for now until I decide what mod(s) to get next. I hate having to take it off and on and keep realigning the scoop.

We'll see what happens this week.

Funny you should mention that. In fact, it would be new cam covers that would dictate whether or not the shroud gets hacked.

Get the cam covers and trim the shroud.

Okay, that would freak me out.

How do you get all those bugs off the actual radiator cooling fins? Maybe just leave them there until they get all dried up and turn to dust?

You just get off what you can.

Dave had to drive that for awhile (or for 1 long trip). It doesn't get that way just from me driving to work and back... but they do add up!

It must be fun getting them out of the holes in the honeycomb. Makes me happy to have a billet.

That's why I try to drive only at night.

You might have nest in there! Careful when you pop that air filter lid open.

I have a BamaChip's tune... why would I waste my time with a CAI that doesn't require a tune??

Leo...

IYO

I love the way the stock intake looks... and have I ever mentioned that it's a closed-loop, so therefore my intake sucks air through the shaker?
