I guess my html is out of date. Oh well. If you want to see pictures of my homebrew intake from homer's depot that cost less then $40.00 and works great, go to this website that hosts the pictures.

if you go to the Home Depot website you can find it. It's called Master Flow 8 In. Deluxe Click Starting Collar and I found one in the heater duct section of the store made of galvanized steel.

Let's say two 'quiet professionals'
are walking through the North Carolina woods
during practice operation 'Robin Sage'

They hear a series of random gunshots,
and walk that direction.

They find a rural resident of North Cackalacky
shooting a rifle.

They carefully hail this guy
and then walk over.

Hey man, what are ya doing?

The guy replies:
I have decided to become the world's greatest marksman
and am out here gettin on with it.

The quiet professionals ask:
"Where is your target?

The guy replies:
"Oh, I don't need a target. I am gonna eyeball it."

The two quiet professionals exchange a glance.

One of the quiet professionals says to the guy:
"Ya know, down at the library they can get you for free a little booklet from Winchester that has bullet drops, windage, temperature correction and other stuff that is really good to know. There was an old farmboy like you, named Carlos Hathcock, who claimed that a good marksman would have nearly every word in that book memorized."

The guy replies:
"Nah, I am just gonna eyeball it."

The other quiet professional asks him:
"What ammunition are you using there?

The guy replies:
"Don't know, but it was on sale."

Finally, the quiet professionals say:
"Well, we gotta get back to work.
But here is one last tip: it is good to have a motto that you silently say to yourself before each shot to calm your mind."

The guy replies:
"Motto huh, well what would you suggest?"

The quiet professionals reply:
"Well, in your case, you might say,
"1000 shots, no kills"
--------------------------

Shooting a rifle
and building modifications for an engine
are both considered 'Manly Skills"

Are you going about it right?

I just took my cold air intake out of my truck to do some work. Took some photos if anyone is interested in making a simple straightfoward intake from regular Homer Depot materials..

This article:
http://www.stockcarracing.com/techar...ics/index.html

is mainly about very subtle little tricks NASCAR teams use to improve their aero, but at the end of the article is this quote:
---------------

The last bit of aerodynamic help has nothing to do with downforce.
[/align]Breeze says that-other than at the very nose of the car-the most air pressure anywhere is in the area where the windshield and hood meet and form an angle. Air rushing along the hood slams into the windshield and builds pressure that can be used to force-feed air to the engine.If the rules allow it, build an inlet box in the cowl at the base of the windshield to use that source of pressurized air. It's pretty easy to do. You can build a sheetmetal box off a stock air cleaner to extend the cleaner's housing to the opening. Seal the edges tightly so you don't lose any pressure."It doesn't have to be pretty to be effective," he says.
