We’re not worthy of witnessing your epic build. I just hope that one day I have the same grasp of airflow and boosty psis

That thing really wigs out if it’s put down below before the inner cooler ....and that’s ummmm how it ever got the beehive busted in the 1st place .......it worked as I was saying up top....cooling but sadly enough it will twist the screen to a bend a want to suck it up...this is why I have picked up a turbo hits for the inner cooler also to keep out any major debris ...from possibly entering...I have fixed the screen so will see how long it holds up again ...


Ya it def picked up a ton without a huge air leaks ....could be around 40 /50

No dyno yet as the motor is still on the engine stand while I cut and weld a bit of the frame for my custom radiator setup and 3 gallon dry sump tank. I’m also recovering from some neck issues that have kept me from putting in any work. I’d guess it’ll be around 600 to the wheels.

I’m also 8 weeks into what was supposed to be a 5-6 week wait for widebody rear fenders to fit my new 18x12 rear wheels
