Re: Trucks at the Yakima Elks car show 6-1-24

I cannot for the life of me figure out why these guys put thousands of dollars in their paint. thousands of dollars in their LS engine. put hundreds of hours in their build. and put on a generic warm air intake. they call it cold but it is really a warm air intake. under the hood exposed. will never bring in ambient air. it will be way hotter than the engine really wants. Find any modern LS car or truck intake pulling air directly from engine bay. Just never makes sense.

but hey someone thinks they look cool and it is THEIR truck to do whatever THEY want.

All i know is we did that in the short term to figure out where to run everything.
LS ran ok no major issues.

But once I build that filter box and let the intake pull air in from grill (not behind radiator) clean air and ambient. that LS ran a whole lot better.

Those trucks have some really good paint schemes and I always like it when they put pride in their builds.

And how they stuffed all the blower and ls in this sedan just amazes me. that took some thinking.
