You probably wouldn't tell us even if we asked.

Oh well, I'll do my cheerleading "CONGRATS!" 50 hp is nothing to sneeze at.

Just a shot in the dark, but I'll guess the 50 came from heads and cams, and the additional 20 will come from LT headers.

I'm probably way off because I don't think anyone can tell that heads and cams have been done once they are installed, and I don't see it taken you 6 months to do the swap.

did you gain 50 hp, or free up 50hp?

A SEALED TRUE Ram Air intake? 50Hp? Nope that's not it.

The only way you gain power is to add more air, since it is simply a giant air pump.

You could free up 50hp easily by removing stuff, but you said you gained 50hp.

Good stuff, I'm gonna wait for pics and your response to L-menaces ? before I make an assumption. So, I also take it this is a new type of mod, maybe?

I have to add that the 50 hp is based on what others have dyno'ed the main part of this mod at.So lets give or take 5 hp on either end.
NOW that is is a big hint!!Stan

6 hours to machine? 2 hours in and out of the shop.

ported the S/C? (that wouldn't account for 50hp, maybe 30hp)
ported the Heads? (I'm not sure you could get them off and back on in 2 hours)
Fabbed up some long tubes? (Nah, that would be visible to all to see)

hell I give up.
