Yep... It's unspeakably evil how nasty that job is.

FWIW: I put my tank in that same location.

awesome. it wasnt too bad for me or maybe i'm just used to getting my arm covered in oil up to my sleeve.

i popped the block adapter first and let that drain for a bit before i did much more. some well placed rags kept me clean for the most part.

I went crazy with some wire cutters and cut it in pieces. SOOOOO much more room now. I might even put the crossover for my intake back with a big K&N filter. pretty sure the 3.5"x3" cone is not good for airflow. haha

Mine had apparently leaked enough oil over the years that everything... everything looked like it had been a part of an oil derrick. I'll have to take that damn oil filter adapter out with me next time I go shooting..

*Pull!*

Not sure... I need to get my WBO2 in and then I'll see if I record a change in temps.

My best guess is ....maybe, but I'd really like a pair of 6" Spal fans sucking in on the back side. I think Ken has something like that.

Actually... I think out of everything I did recently, it's a toss between the "Waller 20G" I did and the 3" downpipe-back exhaust. The GPM (grins-per-mile) is stupidly high following both of those.

Turbo blanket on
plugs regapped to .028"
also found my rattle/knocking noise. inner fender bolt that attaches to the battery tray was almost completely out. i even shook things around and figured out it was the battery tray but didnt occur to me that the bolts were loose.

gonna hit DEQ sometime in the next few days. really hope i pass. failed last time i was there (thought i was due but it was registration for a different car, ran it anyway) 400 HC's with only 220 allowed. got my stock chip setup in since i passed with flying colors with it the first time only difference now is 20g, magnaflow cat, 160 stat. will change to a 195 stat if i dont pass.

Ha, summer, if that's what you want to call it. You mean the hopefully 2-3 months without overcast and torrential downpour
