It makes me sad to hear these stories. It happens though... Time for you to start becoming more competent at engine work, then you can save all that money for good ecomods.
Hooked up a HAI last night, saw 110 degree temps, compared to the usual 90 degree temps. Not as much as I hoped for, I think the header wrap is working too good
Got to find a better source for heat. I also tried ducting off the rad and it was the same, however when the fan kicked on, the temps kicked up to 120-130, so maybe I need to seal the duct up against the rad?
Also worked on fiting up some rear fender skirts. Gonna try and finish them tonight and if I have time get the HAI to work better.
While I was in there, I cut the hole for a ram air system, so I can measure the difference in mpg between the three, HAI, underhood, and CAI. Also, I intend on using the Ram Air to get some better times thru the 1/4
I was hoping to get a front and rear undertray built, but there just isn't time. Only have tonight to finish it all...
