Question to Neal

hows the intake manifold fabricating comming along my dad and i are thinking about doing the same. he's got piles of sheet metal stainless we can use. saves with having to get a aluminum welder. and got a question on how ur going to do throttle body? are u going to use multiple on that manifold or what?i was thinking of doin on mine like just gettin two stock 68mm throttle body's using all thread to link them togehter u only need one TPS sensor and whatnot. but then my inquiry is on MAF. would it be best to fabricate a large one or just pull a 90mm one off a lightning.

HI!... Actually I haven't touched my custom sheet aluminum intake for quite a few months now. I damaged my knee at work a few months ago and am only working 40 hour weeks on light duty. Usually I work 60 hour weeks. So money has been a bit tight. I'm using a 132mm oval TB and custom built oval TB ELBOW. All primary's will be *BURN'S STAINLESS* mandrel aluminum bends. I'll be running a shorter 7" long tapered runner, compared to the 12" - 14" long factory runners. I'm going for mid range/topend. I have way too much low end as it is, will be worst with the TURBO, espiecally at 14 PSI. I'll be using a BLOW THRU MAF on the TURBO set-up but a custom fabbed 100mm Maf on the N/A 5.4.
