Intake Options
Okay I got my block back today and I proceded to test fit everything. With my new intake and throttlebody and inlet hat, the height comes up to just touch the hood. "twin turbo highrise hood" So I am trying to think of ways to increase clerance, so far here is what I have thought of. A: I could take the inlet hat and grind off some of it at an angle to both lower it and give it an angle that will better follow the hood line. But then I may have to do some sort of modification to the throttle arm cause it will most likely hit the hat at that point. B: I could go and get a new inlet hat but I would need something low profile something like the ones they offer for the prochargers. "anyone got an extra for those who hate them??? Or C: I could get one of those 90 Degree inlet elbows and get a new throttle body. I don't know what the overall height of those are, and I cannot find any info on them on the net. I know I have seen them somewhere before, But I just cannot find where that was. I figurte if I sell my current throttle body and hat I may be able to pay for a good portion of the elbow and new throttle body.
Anyone have any imput?
