2) give me more up top. Instead of shifting at 5600 I shift at 6200.

And a slight added benefit - intake off in less than 15 minutes.

All in all, this was a very good move for me
Did you fab this up or you bought it? Damn, it is lookin' nice!

and go with 1/4"-28 studs that are about 1" long. The top half of the
stud is size 20 threads. Then use the special nut with a "star" washer
that is part of the nut itself. He indicated that this would reduce your
install time 45 minutes or more.
Do you have any pics of this setup ? It sounds like a great idea.

Read '2manyfuncars' post on page two and then scroll
down to a follow up that builds on his suggestion by substituting
studs. The now-missing picture (one of CaboBoy's) showed the
plenum interior and helped illustrate there appears to be room to
spotface for nuts on the studs.

There is also a picture of Ramanstud's modified allen wrench (hosted
in Rrubel's post)

These might be helpful, too.
