Where have you heard that?

No plans for a sheet metal intake. the Boss intake is going to work great.

There was a video on youtube of a supercharged 5.0, showing that the sides of the intake would flex under boost; also, I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that someone has cracked one under boost, as well.

Anyone seen a fuel setup like this?

wtf..... empty a 50gallon drum in 8 seconds

Get a GoPro camera or Contour HD camera, suction it under hood, it can record the intake to see if they flex, I Just got one to do some recording, it is pretty slick and records in HD.

I imagine it would be infinitely easier to just have someone look at the intake while it's running on the dyno

Thanks! These cams are pretty sick.

Got the drag wheels on. I broke down and agreed to put skinnies on the front.






I can't wait to show you guys pictures of the cutouts. They turned out awesome. Jake is finishing them up tomorrow and I'll post up the pics. We will probably offer the electric cutouts as an option on the kit after seeing how it all fits so nicely.

That things already in the 9's IMO. There is at least two tenths to be gained in the 60 and that will get you down to a high 9.80
Great job and keep us updated.
