How does the top of the filter stay snug to the top of the box? - Mark P 2002-06-27 07:47:26 (647 views)

Actually you don't want the filter to sit on the botton other wise that is wasted filter space and - Blitzkrieg 2002-06-27 08:05:02 (599 views)

It is down and the hood has over 1 inch of clearance from the highest point. - Blitzkrieg 2002-06-27 07:37:28 (518 views)

Is that 3" piping? What about making it out of plastic? - JTravinski 2002-06-27 06:43:34 (3629 views)

This isn't the finished product. Mark has some carbon heat barrier that we will - Blitzkrieg 2002-06-27 06:46:55 (578 views)

Quick question? - kiss_my_S 2002-06-27 06:36:38 (828 views)

Any time you put pressure at a lower temp into a place where there was a vaccume and higher temp you - Blitzkrieg 2002-06-27 06:44:09 (660 views)

Nice shiny aluminum box with top held by self-tapping screws. Now what does it do? - MichaelTM 2002-06-27 06:24:35 (1091 views)

NO self tapping screws. There are to boby tabs that are threaded, but when it is done there will be - Blitzkrieg 2002-06-27 06:26:54 (637 views)

That's no joke.......nice job with it. Can't wait to see you run at Waterfest! - Idiot Savant-cactus4 2002-06-27 05:58:46 (497 views)

Looks nice, what sort of testing are you going to do with it? - singletrack 2002-06-27 05:51:51 (603 views)

Bottom line for me is what can it do at the track - Blitzkrieg 2002-06-27 05:56:10 (550 views)

Cool, do you have to reset the ECU when you swap them out for it to adapt? - singletrack 2002-06-27 06:52:24 (1027 views)

I do so prior to racing regardless. - Blitzkrieg 2002-06-27 06:58:17 (522 views)

Cool, thanks for the info. Good luck with the project. - singletrack 2002-06-27 07:37:55 (504 views)
