Nice work with the grinder! I port matched my intake manifold on my 66 Ford Fairlane a while back. It was fun to really take the time and do things right and go that extra mile. It's the attention to detail like that, that will make your car that much better & faster.

Great job carrying the torch on this project!
Hey Vadim, I like that piece. I almost went that route, but ended up starting with the intercooler and heat exchanger which worked for my needs. The SLR top mounted idea is still a great one and someone should pick this piece up and do the work, then compare to 1FASTC32's outcomes.

let me see how well it works first with the other components i have already added...
if it makes a dramatic difference in air temps, then i will locate another IC and have my friend plasma cut it open to see how we can improve the stock unit...
joe, do you already have the evosport winshield washer reservior?
