[QUOTE="cj428mach, post: 16935964, member: 142081"] I haven't decided on the intake yet. I have a hard time stomaching $1k for a piece of plastic. If the overall height of the intake was lower I'd be more excited to open my pocket book. 1k for a throttle body reangle and minimal gains doesn't excite me, but I forget that's what NA power is like. That's what forced induction does is it ruins you on power gains. I tend to expect power gains to come in large chunks of 25rwhp minimum not 8-10hp anymore. One of the first Godzilla swaps I saw in a car the guy built his own adapter to keep the throttle body below the factory intake. I'm leaning towards that as my solution. I hope you're right in the teaching thing but I'm not a good example myself. I began go cart racing at 8yrs old and quit at 16yrs old. I thought I could handle horsepower until I wrecked my first car (65 falcon). It taught me to fear a car and what can happen. I live a block and a half from my dad and we have dinner there every Sunday night. When we leave my daughter sits on my lap and drives us home. I hope getting her started early and giving her opportunities will result in a better more aware driver when she's an adult. [/QUOTE]
