Sorry guys, I have been really busy today, so I will try to answer your questions.

PushinPebbles, Longhornmail thanks for the compliments.

Chevyc10! Yes I am a Spiderman fan, but have only seen the movie twice. I have a very nice collection of Spiderman and other various comics. I didn't have many friends when I was 12-14, so I became a comic book geek. When I got to high school I became a social butterfly and stopped reading comics and now I am going back to it a little.

Baylor05 yes that is a supercharger, sitting on my 388 stroker. It is a 142 Weiand blower with a 7 inch bottom pulley and a 2. (something) in top pulley.

Alexmart1, man she gets up and goes, I have slowly taken her down (like you and Britney). So I haven't been able to run with the new fuel system, transmission or new suspension. Before I took her down I could smoke the tires whenever wanted too. When (and if) she hooked up, she would flat out move. I haven't actually taken her to a real dyno, but the one I did, said somewhere near 520 hp at the tires and 690 hp at flywheel. Not sure how accurate it is, but makes me happy to see that (even if it is off). I will when she is back on the road and ready run.

Low69CST, I had found a ram air box that would hold a 5 inch air cleaner, 180 degrees between snorkels, and 5 inch air tube inlets. I went to hardware store bought some 5-inch dryer tube, two big hose clamps, and some pieces for chimneys a long with some screen to put in the headlight bezels. That ram air box will fit under your hood without any clearance problems. The only thing you need to do is take the junction block by your batter off (to make 5 inch tube fit). The GMCs have two holes in the core support from the factory, so I didn't need to cut anything. If you have a Chevy I don't where you will put the ends of the tubes. You will need to cut something, but I like what NSANE68 said with cutting holes in the core support with filters.

The picture you guys see is about two or so years old. I have now gotten rid of the ram air set up and just run a cowl induction hood. Ram air wouldn't fit with a supercharger under the cowl hood. My license plate fame reads "Stroke it, Blow it, Ram it!" I get so many looks when I drove her down the road. Old ladies would blush when they read it!!
