My Intake

All my personal testing were done on the drag strip, until I come up with the intake that I thought would be the best.
1. I did the alum tubes , here is a pic they are painted black, they didn't help in hp , and heat soak was not any better either.
2. I went with a heavy duty black 3" hose. HAVING TROUBLE LOADING PIC. JIM

mayby I can load some pictures now anyway I'll try.
then i tried to build an intake that would work.
1 alum tubes
2 hard rubber coupling hose
3 got rid of air boxes
4 built a 3" full tube intake with filters in the hump.
5 sent it to Needswings for testing.
6 it tested 169 cfm over the stock 55 intake.
7 had Needswings weld mine together and now it is on the car see the pic.
8 gave Needswings all rights to the intake
9 Needswings.com to see C32, SL55,E55 and other intake
10 jim

from Needswings, but it is only sold with the intake, I had a duel intake for another car from Needswings and it had a Y coupling, on it, that is what i used for building and testing,knowing i could not get a Y coupling anywhere, i sent everything to Needswings for coating and testing. jim
