Been awhile since I posted to the old journal ...

The car is pretty much dedicated to fund raising efforts for Lung Cancer research these days ... we learned alot last year. Fund raising is a tough racket no matter the cause. Hoping 2013 is a kinder year. The car does a great job of getting us attention, and this year will be even better.

Anyway, we added a prototype Kinetix intake manifold ... only three were ever made. Might make a few HP, might lose a few HP ... but it sure looks good in the engine bay either way. I am hoping that someday, UPREV will figure out the VVEL table and if and when that happens, this intake manifold will stand a good chance of showing respectable gains. In the meantime, it can just sit in there and look shiny.



Had to hand make some cork and rubber gaskets for both throttle body and the lower plenum points ... had never done that before it was kind of fun.



Out with the old ...



... and in with the new.



We added a small custom decal to the backside of the plenum that you can only see if you look between the hood when it is open and the front windshield it says "THE POLISHED TURD".

Can't get a decent cell phone picture of it, it is hard to see.
