Thanks, Scott, your truck just keeps looking better and better too. And the car did feel good... pulled nice and clean with good firm shifts. I need to jet it a couple of steps leaner than what's currently in it. Exhaust is a bit too black. It's on my to-do list now that our company from TX left this morning.

What I really need is airflow thru the engine compartment at low to mid speeds, Brian. The good ram air setups capture the cooler outside air and channel it into a sealed compartment feeding the air intake. They don't work effectively to allow the cool outside air to lower under hood temps.
