Gigamanx,
I re-posted the photos on this page to sorta recap what the truck looked like 5 years ago. Go back a few pages and take a look. The firewall is totally bare now.

As for the dual plane intake? There’s no way to tell if it improved the performance. The truck ran like crap before that was swapped out and even if it had run ok those 283’s only put out about 140hp so if it gained any, I couldnt tell. It went from barely running to starting and running reliably.
