well you definately need to know a bit about motors and their needs and a bit about fabrication. weding, cutting, measuring and general tool skills are a must.precision is imperative for the fitting part of the build.there is only a couple thou tolerance on the runner fit.there are only three bolts holding the main body of the intake ,runners and baseplate together.24 screws hold the lid on and 4 screws hold the tb mount on and 4 screws hold the tb on.twwo screws hold the egr on and 2 screws hold the coilpack on.before anything could be built the factory intake was put on a flowbench and mapped.then a better design was developed(hopefully).it takes time ,patience and money.LOTS OF EACH!

couldn't get the car to hook.spun real bad first two gears .best run was a 14.7xx at 96.xx
mph.60 foot was a lousy 2.3x.i ususally get high 1.90's or 2.0.

yea i know i need tires but then the rear will go as it's only a 7.5".they wouldn't glue the track so nobody could get traction.on more than one occasion on friday i heard track staff say to someone after a bad run or screwup"don't worry about it that's why it's called test and tune night".who are they trying to kid.if they glued the track we wouldn't have a traction issue causing us to screw up.how can you test and tune with a car that is not consistent because of a bad track surface? they have no problem taking the money but don't want to spend a little of it to prep the surface.total bs.
