by the look of that wheel on your cooktop range, i'm guessing you are a single guy. And I'm guessing you've got more car parts in that microwave...

The intake tube looks as if it would impact the clam.
Can you show us the electric water pump?
I hear they should like a toilet flushing?

What does it take to clear those wheels/tires? Will they stick out a bit? Did you flare the fenders?

Looks really good. I especially like the transition just before the throttle body, nice clean welds and a smooth transition. Only small criticism - I think you're going to want a much larger fuel injector.

You have a custom rear clam (or flares)? I can't imagine a 285 will fit on stock stuff.

Would be pretty cool to see that much tire stuffed under an Elige! Take pics!

Subscribed...

Curious, why did you orient the intercooler so the air needs to take a 90 degree bend into the core and then another 90 degree bend out? Was it the only way to make it fit? Just thinking that it adds some unnecessary pressure drop.

Can you tell I'm in the heat exchanger industry?
