    Nice build.. Have youchecked into a 95-98 Intake?? They have a angled Throttle body that might work better with your setup. And we are not "U guys" anymore.. Your a f-body owner now as well..

      you should check out my build. i do have my actual exhaust going under the k. just the exhaust manifolds go forward. i did flatten/oval the exhaust under the k. but i have an electric cutout before that.

        I checked it out. Cool build. I would rethink it if I were to rebuild my headers.

        Why did my thread disappear btw.

            thanx, i'd make a better passenger manifold if i could go back. i probably will make a better one eventually regardless

                  whats that left of the pump, a solenoid? what are those crimpers for? i'm itching to work on my car now haven't driven it, in like 4 months. i've gotta get back to it, finish paint. i've got high ratio rocker arms, a lsd 3.73 rear end(still a tiny 7.5), and a cooling mist progressive water meth kit... how are you planning to tune? sorry if you've already mentioned it.

                    Yeah it's a solenoid for added protection against water being sucked through the pump during vacuum.

                    The crimpers are for gm weather pack connectors. I like my wiring to look clean :)

                    For now I might take it to a local place for a flash tune.

                                where's the intercooler!!??!? not trying to talk trash, but the rest of your build loooks awesome, and then i see those welds and it kinda kills it... you should get a flapper disk and smooth them out. imo.
