Some of you wanted to see the plastic ported intake I have, kind of crappy pics but heres some quick shots. I also painted it and added my little touch on the top with a shop sticker

Also just test fitting the bling bling t-body!

Car goes on the dyno today to see the differnce with the ported intake, throttle body testing will be tomorrow.

If I gained 5hp at the wheels id be more then happy lol

enjoy

I havnt weighed the car yet, I will at the nmra race this weekend because the scales will be up.

I grabbed a 1.64 sixty foot on the 12.36 run. With sport line springs! lol

 

[TurboPete]

Very Cool build , id be very interested to see how much it weighs now.

Well, I dynoed the car with just changing to the alum driveshaft just to see if it would show any gain on the dyno, but it didn't. So then I swapped to the ported plastic intake to see the gains... it didn't gain squat. So then!!!!!!!!! I put the ford Racing T-body on this thing... No peak hp gain but between 3-5500 it picked up 2-3 hp across the board so I was at least happy with that lol... Same peak hp but with more go through the power band. The drive shaft picks the car up off the line! I can't wait for milan this weekend and try to run my goal et!

 

[Chris06GT]

Sounds awesome Matt!! Good luck on your voyage to hit 11's.....I hope to be there soon....

 

[NotQuik]

atlesat you'll have less rotating mass wihle going down the track with the aluminum driveshaft.....11.99999
