Re: INTAKE

["Eric Ansay" <eansay@ezwebtech.com>]

I put the Midnight Motorsports "Ice Box" on my car and I like it.  Doesn't
sound any different...but the butt dyno says there is a big one at speeds
above 45mph.  I will be putting my Brospeed header on in a few weeks and
then I'll get it dyno'd and report what a 8v can put down at the wheels.
The Brospeed header will be one of my last mods on this car (I will be
putting sway bars on it yet) then I get to start on my girlfriends new
Cabrio (we found a brand spank'n new 98 and got an awsome deal on it).
