Dave,

Thanks for the praises. The intake that you see in the picture I built for my Pro-Street 78 Ford Fairmont. I built the whole rear sub frame and suspension parts for this car along with alot of other things, roll cage, motor plates, boost plumbing, valve covers, etc.. When I decided to supercharge it, I was tring to use a blow thru carb setup, which worked horrible. So I ditched that and built my own aluminum tube intake. This intake sets on top a Ford 460. The car weighs 3600 LBS with me in it and runs 9.80's.
A fun street/strip car. I am a 5-axis CNC programer/machinist by day and have a side business (nights and weekends) building air to air and air to water intercoolers.

But my all time cloud 9 dream is to build a GT40. Hopefully I will start the ball rolling on a kit in 2 years. Right now just trying to gather knowledge.

Thanks again for the warm welcome.
