Made my first sheet metal intake

[kennebellcobra]

In search for more power and I got bored, I decided to try my luck at building my first sheet metal upper and keeping the vic efi lower.

This is actually 16 gauge steel with 1/4" frame. The top is the only piece of aluminum(still needs polished) and no fancy machines used to make it.

Very little testing but the moates data logs show its making 30+ hp more than it ever has and low end throttle response feels better. Can't wait to get it on the dyno or at the track

Can't get the pix to post the way I use to but these should work.

The hp gain is cuz it allows you to hide a bigger no2 kit.... Looks good tho

That is nice, if you don't mind me asking how much do you think have in it?

Thanks Chad! That's not going to happen but maybe a 9.99 is some crazy air.

Always goes to the NOS:lol:

Most of the metal was scrap from work but I got about $80 in it.

I know Shannon...I was just exaggerating. I am amazed at your craftsmanship and skills. Seems there is nothing you can't do. You Rickie and Steve never cease to amaze me with what you all can do with a car.
