I have a bunch of stuff laid out on the table, was just making sure I have all the gaskets and stuff I need and that everything fits.

My wife says to me today "When are you going to move that engine block off the kitchen table?!" :rlaugh:

I have a workbench in the garage, but it's cold out and the light is better in the house. :D

Anyone else do this?
 
I have an old desk that i've had since i was about 9 years old that i still use to this day for everything from model buidling to small engine work to painting/drawing. I don't even own a kitchen table.
 
No way.

I guess i'm a sissy man. I get upset if there is any grease of spec of dirt anywhere in my apartment....and I live alone!!

I don't even eat on my own kitchen table...it smudges the glass and i hate cleaning it :(

Is that just a stock intake or has it been ported?

But I cant stand that eaither so my garage is heated and airconditioned :nice:
Still gotta finish th A/C install, just too lazy :shrug:......and its been cold.....ish.
Cheep some assembly required table anyway so a 5.0 plenum would prolly break it. My kitten that cant even make the bathroom scale needle move makes the table shake :nonono:
I guess i should eat my own words. This has been sitting on my computer desk for the last week or so.

I see your computer screen is the same size as mine yet you insist in these oversize pictures :fuss:
:nonono:
 
HAHAH

What's the point of porting a stock intake? All that time under the hood and $ for 10hp?

:rlaugh: Contrary to popular belief, a well ported stock lower makes damn good power....actually make MORE power from idle to about 4,400 RPMS than a Cobra intake. From about 4,400-6,000 RPMS the Cobra will make slightly more.

Read all about it and see dyno sheets. http://www.tmossporting.com/tabid/328/Default.aspx

This is a daily driver so I'm all about the low end torque for fun around town. Plus I'm going for more of a sleeper car (stock wheels, no appearance mods, no obnoxious exhaust) so the stock look is what I want.
 
I used a long cardboard box as my work bench when I restored my door moldings...it was free!!!!
