there are older pics on the first page I believe.

I'm actually doing hand porting on the head so the car is in pieces, I have also modified my goals. Having achieved 40mpg highway, my new goal is to achieve 30 mpg in a heavily modified car. I have at present had issues with flow through the intake, a turbo upgrade isn't the answer, instead I am going to smooth the flow as best I can so I do not have problems with overspeed/overpressure and cracking the ring land on a piston.

On a side note I gained 1mpg on my Dodge simply by doing what's called the "kegger mod" to the intake manifold on my Dodge Ram with the 5.9 v8.

Anyways, I've been busy, shopping for land and working, so time is limited, sorry for the lack of updates or substance of the update.

Ohh and the spoiler delete/vortex generator mod worked well, I gained slightly more than .5 mpg from it on the highway with zero difference below 50 mph.
