    Mike, whatever happened to the dual WCFB/corvette intake? Did you have trouble dialing it in, or just haven't spent time on it yet?

    ... I blindly subscibed to this thread years ago, back when it was one page. Us termiters have to stick together right? Nice work, Nicer shop!!!
     
  3. I never really intended to run it on this truck. It was just on there as a place holder as I was waiting for my tri power intake to return. I have another 283 slated for a rebuild that it will probably end up on though...:)


    Right! And thanks!

    I'm surprised that it didn't tip over with body roll caused from that bubble top you refuse to chop. Should have a roll warning like a Geo Tracker inside.






    ....but then again it runs like a top so I'll shut up.

    I luv that pic, chop, no chop that truck is dope.
     
  15. No chop gives it that quirky, dumb ,"east coasty" look I'm so fond of. Besides, sometimes I like to wear a top hat!

    Thanks cuz!

    It was not a timed event, just more for the fun of it all really. (Some of us tried to have a little more fun than the others though, ha!)

    Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
