Dual Quad lesson learned
So I wanted to have the coolest looking engine, I wanted to have all the fancy looking parts under the hood. I am new at this whole truck restoring thing and I really didn't know what I was doing. I figured I would buy a sweet dual quad setup along with all the fancy things that go with it. So i saved up and bought it all, took my time and installed it all. I was very impressed with myself. I looked at it and thought wow what a good job you did making that boring old engine awesome. So a friend who has been building cars since he was a kid stops by today. He looks at the engine and I am all proud of my work. He then asks what kind of rebuild I did on the engine and my response was that it was stock. Well, he explained that the engine was NOT going to be able to handle that kind of system. So in the end I need to buy a new intake and take all my fancy looking waste of money off. At least I have a nice paperweight. Lesson learned!!!!
