Very nice job and a good idea to boot. The placement of the MSD box kind of scares me though. Best stay out of the rain

It's still under the hood so it doesn't get rained on. This is the recommended mounting I saw on the forum somewhere. Going on 3 years with no issues.

When vendors sell an air flow divider air foil for a throttle body at $70 each ya know there's a market here. At least it would be nice to sell to sell'm to your friends here on the forum and make it worth your while.

I get a lot of satisfaction from doing my own work including turning wrenches, house construction etc and it’s a nice change from my normal paper pushing job. I don’t really want to turn my hobby into a business, but I will help anyone as much as I can.

I made a system out of stainless steel that takes air from the front of the rad.

Good job, prettiest one I've seen. Did you cut the top of the radiator support, and does the steel get hot?
